In the study of botany, understanding the anatomy of a flower is fundamental. A flower labelling diagram serves as an educational tool that illustrates the different parts of a flower, each with its unique function in the plant's reproductive process. The main components identified on such a diagram typically include the sepal, filament, style, ovary, anther, petal, and stigma. Each of these parts plays a critical role in the life cycle of flowering plants.

The sepal is the part that protects the flower bud before it opens. The petal is often the most colourful part of the flower and serves to attract pollinators. The anther is the part of the stamen where pollen is produced, and it sits atop a slender filament. Together, the anther and filament make up the stamen, which is the male reproductive organ of the flower. The ovary is at the base of the flower and contains ovules; after fertilisation, the ovary will develop into a fruit. The style is a tube that connects the ovary to the stigma, which is the sticky surface at the top of the style; the stigma is designed to capture pollen. Understanding these parts is essential for anyone studying plant biology, horticulture, or simply enjoying the beauty and complexity of flowers.
