Brassica oleracea Anatomy Blogpost 7

Our Broccoli Flower from our school garden.
Here is the stamen of our broccoli stalk. The stamen is the male reproductive system. The stamen produces pollen rthat get released. This is how flowers reproduce. This why bees help flowers; they accidently pick up pollen and the next time they land on a flower with the female reproductive organ they fertilize it.

This is the carpel, the female reproductive organ. Pollen is released into the carpel. The sticky tip called the stigma collects the pollen and it releases into the tube of the carpel. Then it fertilizes the ovaries.
In this picture everything on the flower except the ovaries.
