The Structure of a Flower:
The flower is attached to the stem by a stalk called the pedicel. The pedicel is swollen where it is attached to the flower and this part is known as the receptacle. Other floral parts are attached to the receptacle. The outermost set of the floral parts are the sepals which are arranged in a ring. The collective name for the sepals is the calyx. Pride of Barbados has five sepals which are separated from each other and are reddish-yellow in colour.
