### plant part | foliage:

Petal
* Most petals are part of perianths
  - pollinated by insects
* Most petals attract butterflies
  - pollinators
  - emerge from buds
  - fall off plants
* Most petals have color
  - outer surfaces
  - soft texture
  - protect stamens
  - stay on plants

### plant part | foliage | petal:

Colorful petal
* Most colorful petals attract pollinators.
* attract pollinators while protecting the reproductive parts

Petal blight
* affects only the flower portion of the plant.
* can be a problem in rainy and very humid weather.
* causes spots on the petals.
* disease that hits some rhododendrons and azaleas that bloom later in the spring.
* is caused by an airborne fungus which over-winters on the spent flowers
  - more severe in cool, moist springs
* spore-borne disease that spreads rapidly.

### plant part | foliage:

Sepal
* Most sepals are green, but they can be brightly colored like the petals
* Most sepals surround petals
* Most sepals yield seeds
  - shiny seeds
* Some sepals are pollinated by moths
  - contain chloroplasts
  - look like petals
* Some sepals protect buds
  - flower buds
* are leafy structures under petals
  - made up of the calyx and are similar to petals
* are part of calyxs
  - perianths
  - small green, leaflike structures on the base of the flower which protect the flower bud
* are the green parts that protect a flower bud before it opens
  - outer leaves surrounding the base of the flower
* are the outermost of the four whorls of modified leaves that make up a flower
  - whorl of the flower
* are usually green and rather tough to protect the more delicate parts of the flower bud
  - they enclose and protect the developing bud
* attract butterflies.
* continue the eye with a thumbprint chevron.
* cover and protect the other flower parts when the flower bud.
* enclose and protect the remaining flower during the bud stage
  - the lower part of the flower
* fall early in the life of the flower.
* form a ring of small leaf-like sections around the base of the flower
  - first, followed by petals, and then by stamen, and finally by carpels
* help protect the developing bud.
* lack wings.
* lie below the petals and are narrower and more sharply pointed than petals.
* occur with or without glandular hairs.
* often look like petals, variable in number.
* protect the bud and are sometimes very petal-like
  - developing flower while it is still a bud
  - flower before blooming
* reflect lighter shades of the same coloration.
* yield black seeds
* yield shiny black seeds

### plant part | foliage | sepal:

Green sepal
* Some green sepals contain chloroplasts.
* surround stamens.
