Getting started with Flower Anatomy
Jen Farrar, BSBI Northern Ireland Botanical Skills Officer

In this webinar we will be looking at and describing the structures found in the parts of a plant involved in flowering and reproduction.

The webinar will focus on the most important parts of a flower and flowering stems when describing the flowering parts of a plant and help to build confidence when using a key.

Topics covered will include basic flower structure; basic structure of female reproductive organs; basic structure of male reproductive organs; symmetry; fused and unfused organs with a focus on the female reproductive organs; the position of the ovaries; flower stems; flower arrangement types; novel organs such as the epicalyx and the reduction in floral organs with examples.

Timing

The webinar will begin at 7:00pm. You will only be able to view the video and audio of the speaker and panellists but a Q&A feature will be live throughout for questions, which we will try to get through in the course of the evening
