19) Flower ovary

This is a picture of a fuschia flower. Inside the bud towards the stem is where the flower ovary lies. The flower ovary is the reproductive system of the female plant that is also known as gynocium. There are three locations for the flower ovary: Supior ovary, Inferior ovary, and Half-inferior ovary. The superior ovary is found above the attachments of flowery parts and is found in most fruit plants. the inferior ovary is found deep within the flower, below the attachment of flowery parts and is found in plants like the fuschia. The half-inferior ovary is surounded by the receptacle, in the middle of the flower, and is found in plants like Crape Myrtles.
