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.

The photos include the featured part in full-color while the rest of the image fades into muted shades of gray. For the first time, it is really clear what we want them to focus on!
