	Brooklyn Botanic Garden: GARDEN BOTANY
		Think of parts of a flower attached to a receptacle as if they were leaves attached to a twig, except that, unlike leaves, the different parts of a flower are separated by very short distances.
		In a typical flower, the calyx, or outermost part of the flower, usually most closely resembles the leaves of the plant on which they occur.
		One example of a flower "missing" parts is the Anemone, or windflower, which lacks petals; its sepals have taken on a petal-like appearance (the sepals are colored, not green as in the typical flower).

	Botany online: Features of Flowering Plants - Flowers
		A flower is a rather complex structure formed by the flower axis that is usually transformed into the receptacle and the perianth.
		Taxonomical flower features are the flower symmetry, the way in which the carpels are fused and the resulting position of the ovules, also called placentation, and the position of the ovary.
		Flowers that have only one plane of symmetry due to either differing shapes of the structures of one whorl or due to incomplete whorls are widespread.

		The perianth of a flower is comprised of sepals and petals.
		The sepals or the petals may be absent or very small and inconspicuous.
		In some cases, the petals are absent and the sepals look like petals; in this system, they are considered petals.

		Flowers are often borne in clusters, either at the terminal end of branches, or in the axils of branches.
		Flowers have also, thru evolving morphological changes, facilitated pollination by attracting very specific potential pollinators by the shape of the corolla.

	Sepal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sepal is an individual unit of the calyx of a flower.
		The calyx is the outer part of the perianth, which comprises the sterile inner and outer tepals that are usually differentiated into petals and sepals.
		The number of sepals in a flower (called merosity) is indicative of the plant's classification: eudicots having typically four or five sepals and monocots and palaeodicots having three, or some multiple of three, sepals.

	Flowers
		Flowers have many different shapes and sizes, and there are many variations in colour, number of flower parts and the arrangements of these parts.
		The pistil is the fourth and the innermost whorl of the flower.
		The calyx and the corolla are referred to as the non-essential whorls, since they are not responsible for the formation of gametes and seeds.
