Flowers in which number of sepals is different from number of petals |
|
Answer» The sepals are the lower, or OUTERMOST, part of the flower. They fold over the TENDER, closed bud and PROTECT it from cold and other injuries while it is developing. Usually sepals are green. In many flowers, however, they are as colorful as the petals and increase the flower's attractiveness to insects. |
