Incomplete flowers lack one or more of the four regular parts of a complete flower as in all of the Fagaceae (oak family), Betulaceae (birch family) and Juglandaceae (walnut family).
Complete flowers are also known as perfect flowers, because they contain both male and female parts; imperfect flowers have either male or female parts, either stamens or pistil, but not both.
They provide a great deal of color quickly and can be replaced as soon as the complete flowering. Annuals are usually very inexpensive and can be purchased in packs of seeds or as seedlings.
The following tree and shrub selections complete Flower and Garden's spring effort to provide up-to-date information on the new plant introductions for 1999. The entries include a name, description and source for each plant.
A flower that has all four parts is said to be complete, whereas an incomplete flower lacks one or more of these four parts.
