PARTS OF THE FLOWER
The CALYX is the outside cup.
It holds the flower snugly up.
Its SEPALS have been woven stout
To keep the cold and dampness out.
COROLLA is the colored part
That gladdens every child-like heart.
Its PETALS wave upon the breeze
To summon butterflies and bees.
The STAMENS next within the ring,
Their ANTHERS set on magic spring.
These ANTHERS store a generous meed
Of POLLEN, needed to make SEED.
The PISTILS in the center fare
For they must have the greatest care.
Their STIGMAS catch the POLLEN beads
Which turn the OVULES into SEEDS.
