A Fascinating Organ of Angiosperms

Flowers are objects of aesthetic, ornamental, social, religious and cultural value. To a biologist, a flower is a modified condensed shoot to perform sexual reproduction in angiosperms.

A typical angiospermic flower consists of four whorls of floral appendages attached on the receptacle - Calyx, Corolla, Androecium and Gynoecium.
