 Flower Dissection Lab

We had specimens from the following flowers: Euphorbia, Haworthia, Tropical Hibiscus, orange Bird of Paradise and Purple Heart Tradescantia.

We identified:

  • xylem
  • phloem
  • stamen
  • anthers
  • carpel
  • ovules
  • petals
  • receptacle
  • sepals
  • pedicel
  • pollen grains
We looked at the petals and pollen grains under the microscope.  It was a great dissection.
