Hi Addison

My absolute pleasure. I write these blogs after needing to research a topic for work, so they act like reminders for me too. Really glad you found the blog helpful.

Understanding the terminology related to botanical subjects is crucial for botanical illustrators, and the ovary plays a significant role in identifying and illustrating different flowers. It’s interesting to learn about the basic botany of flowers, especially the ovary’s function in producing unfertilized seeds (ovules), and how pollen interacts with the stigma to fertilize them. The diagram you shared provides a clear visualization of the ovary’s position within the flower. Thanks for sharing this valuable information!

Hi Dominic

That is such a great comment, I am so pleased. Ill be honest, writing this blog did my head in! So often with botany it’s like a double translation – you have to figure out what all the different terms for the the same things actually MEAN first…and then you have to try and translate them into english. It was the inferior/superior bit that really confused me til I untangled it.

So glad to be of use, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

Yours
Lizzie

Hello Fisch

The Pride of Barbados flower, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, is in the pea or Fabaceae family. These pea flowers have an elongated superior ovary (you can sometimes see the remains of petals at the base of the seed pods). The style tends to be curved and there are mostly 10 stamens. Hope this helps? Thanks for the question (fingers crossed I got the answer right!)

Yours
Lizzie
