Flower
The reproductive structure of the plant.
Stamen
Male reproductive structure consisting of a filament and anther.
Anther
Pollen-producing portion of the stamen.
Filament
Supports and positions the anther.
Fruit / Seed Capsule
Mature ovary containing the lily's seeds.
Seed
Structure containing the plant embryo that can develop into a new plant.
Leaf
Main photosynthetic organ.
Stem
Supports leaves and flowers and transports water, minerals, and sugars.
Bulb
Underground storage organ composed largely of modified fleshy leaves.
Bulb Scale
Fleshy modified leaf that stores nutrients.
Roots
Absorb water and minerals and anchor the plant.
Flower Bud
An immature flower before opening.
Tepal
One of the six colorful, petal-like structures surrounding a lily's reproductive organs. A lily has two sets of three: three outer tepals corresponding to sepals and three inner tepals corresponding to petals. Because the two sets look so similar, botanists commonly refer to all six collectively as tepals rather than separating them into sepals and petals.
Pistil
Female reproductive structure of the flower.
