Tulips reproductive structures
Tulips reproductive structures. The female part of the flower is the carpel, at the top of which is the stigma. This is supported on the style, at the base of which are the ovaries that contain ovules. Surrounding this are the male stamens anther (brown) which contains pollen grains (the male sex cells of the plant). Fertilisation takes place when pollen lands on the stigma and grows down the styles to the ovaries where the fertilisation of the ovules takes place

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate reproductive structures of tulips. At the heart of this vibrant flower lies its female part, known as the carpel. The carpel is topped by a delicate stigma, which serves as the landing pad for pollen grains. Supporting the stigma is a slender structure called the style, while at its base lie tiny ovaries containing ovules. Surrounding these female components are the male stamens, distinguished by their brown anthers that house countless pollen grains – nature's equivalent of male sex cells in plants. Fertilization occurs when pollen lands on the stigma and begins to grow down through the styles towards the ovaries. It is within these ovaries that ovules await fertilization, marking a crucial step in reproduction for tulips. This mesmerizing image not only highlights the beauty of tulip flowers but also offers a glimpse into their biological processes. It reminds us of spring's arrival and how essential pollination is for plant propagation. Whether you have an interest in botany or simply appreciate nature's wonders, this photograph captures both scientific detail and aesthetic allure.
