Parts of the Flower (Dicot) Book

Dicots (dicotyledons) are the flowers typically shown in botanical textbooks. They get their name because their seeds have two (di) seed leaves (cotyledons).

The beautiful lemon flower featured in this book clearly shows the difference between a stamen and a pistil not to mention all of the other key botanical anatomy. Use these in the classroom to follow-up on your explorations in the garden.
