Dissecting a Flower

In Biology the other day we dissected a flower. Here are some photos I took:

The flower that I dissected was one of these pink ones. It didn't seem to have any Sepals, which was a little bit odd. But, they may have been directly attached to the base of the flower in a way that we couldn't see them. 

Didn't really do much to the petals...

After the petals were off, I was able to see the inside of the flower. 


The first parts that I dissected were the Stamens. They had liquid inside. They support the pollen. 

The above is what they look like when they haven't been dissected. 


This was cool - got to see inside the "fruit" part of the flower to see the cells that would become seeds.
