The shoot produces flowers only after the plant has undergone vegetative growth. Flowers can be found in the axils of leaves or on a specialized flowering branch called the peduncle or floral axis. Each flower has a stalk, or pedicel, that culminates in a broad surface called the thalamus or torus. Based on the vegetative and reproductive parts , flowers are of four types- complete, incomplete, bisexual, and unisexual flowers. Flowers with both male and female parts are known as hermaphrodites. Sepals, petals, anther and carpels are the units of vegetative and reproductive parts of flowers .
