Characteristics: Calyx flowers typically feature a whorl of sepals that protect the developing petals and reproductive structures. The sepals are often green and leaf-like, and they can vary significantly in size and shape across different species. In addition to their protective function, the calyx can also play a role in attracting pollinators through its color and shape. Furthermore, in some plants, the calyx may be fused together, forming a tube, which can influence the flower's overall morphology and the dynamics of pollen transfer during pollination.
