Life cycle of a Lily Flower
The life cycle of a lily flower begins with a single seed. Once mature, the plant reproduces by growing a flower, which is the sexual part of the plant that produces seeds.
Male Sex Organs:
The male sex organ is called the Anther, and there are several in each lily flower.
Female Sex Organs:
THe female portions of the flower are called the stigma, pistil and ovule. The ovule contains the unfertilized ova of the plant.
Pollination:
Pollination is accomplished when pollen grains, the male gametes of the plant are transferred to the stigma by an insect or other physical action
Fertilization:
The pollen grains come in contact with the stigma and stick to it. Pollen travels down a path called a pollen tube through the pistil into the ovule to fertilize the ova.
Seed Growth:
Seeds form in the lily flower. As the seeds mature, the flower dies, and a seed pod grows. The pod eventually releases its seeds.
