Perfect flower

Wind-pollinated plants
Plants that rely on wind to distribute pollen, often lacking petals.
Fused parts
When adjacent flower parts are connected together, creating a single structure.
Clustered flowers
Multiple flowers grouped together to enhance the signal to attract pollinators.
Modifications
Changes in flower structure or design to serve different functions, such as attracting pollinators.
Chemical recognition in pollen
The ability of some plants to identify their own pollen and prevent fertilization.
Pollination
The process by which pollen is transferred from anther to stigma.
Self-pollination
The transfer of pollen from one flower to its own stigma, leading to potential asexual reproduction.
Functions of petals
