Self pollinating plants
the pollen that fertilizes the ovule within the same floret
Dicot flowers have the following parts:
- ) Corolla
- ) Calyx
- ) Receptacle

- ) Stamen
Corolla
Collection of petals.The petals are often shot to attract pollinating insects.
Calyx
consists of small, leaf-like structures Calle the sepals.
The receptacle
Structure that bears and supports the floral organs.
