Petals are the leaf-like structures in the flower’s outer ring that have been specialized to become the colorful, showy parts of the corolla. Their main job is to attract pollinators with color, scent, and nectar guides, which helps ensure fertilization. The stamen is the male reproductive organ that produces pollen; the stigma is the pollen-receiving tip of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules and develops into fruit after fertilization.
