Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the orchid flowers show radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry.

Introduction: A flower consists of four whorls, sepal, petal, stamen, and carpel. The outer whorls, which are sepals and petals, protect the inner parts of the flower and it also attracts the insects. The inner parts are stamen and carpel, which represent the male and female reproductive systems.

Describe the characteristics you would expect to find in flowers that are pollinated by the wind, beetles, bees, and hummingbirds, respectively.
Look at the flower, observe color, size of petals and height of stamen and pistil. What type of pollination does it present? - Self pollination - wind cross pollination - bird cross politicization
Look at the image  Describe the color and texture of each part of the plants and indicate the function of each part as well. What is the nature and function of the pedicel and receptacle? Are all parts of the flower separate from each other or are they fused together? Does pollination in this plant occur via wind or an animal vector?
