FLOWERS ARE NATURE'S GIFT
To many, flowers are nature’s gift. The invigorating beauty of flowers have always fascinated and enthralled through the ages. The refreshing beauty of flowers has been a symbol of love and attraction for people around the world. Their beauty lies in their suppleness, pleasant aroma and their diverse vivid colors. These tranquil beauties have also placed them distinctively in mythology, folklore, and religious symbols of different races. Nothing conveys single meaning of love, beauty and pure innocence in full quintessence than flower.
There are numerous types of flowers around the world and numerous ways of classify them. Botanically, flower is a modified, shortened, compacted branch that bears lateral appendages. Sepal, petal, stamen, and carpel, the basic floral parts are in fact greatly modified leaves. Flowers develop from buds in a similar fashion, much like kindling does. Flowers are a whole host of combinations in form, size, color, and arrangement.
There are different numerous parameters used in classification of flowers. The anatomical arrangement of flower is known as the morphology of flower. Flowers are classified based on their morphology. Classifications include “Sympetalous” in which the flowers come with their petals either partially or fully joined. “Polypetalous” whereby the flowers have petals that are not joined. Another classification is “Actinomorphic”, whereby the petals of the flower have a characteristic radial symmetry to them. The flower can be divided into two identical parts along any imaginary axis through centre. These are further classified as funnel shaped, tubular shaped and campanulate (a bell like shape). Poppy family, cruciform and rose family are few notable examples of actinomorphic morphology. Finally the “Zygomorphic” class whereby the flowers display bilateral symmetry. Only two symmetrical parts are possible along a single axis passing through centre. Bilabiate flowers, display irregular corolla with upper lip made by joining two petals, and lower lip by joining three. In Papilionaceous flowers, corolla is made up of five petals. One at the most superior position, known as standard; two side ones, called wings and the keel, two joined ones present below.
