And if there's a corollary to the formula, it's this: Inspect your plants thoroughly and often. Every few days is about the right schedule for plant inspection.
calyx search for term- n (Gr. kalyx, a calyx, cup) the outer covering of a flower external to the corolla, which it encloses, and consisting of a whorl of leaves, or sepals, usually of a green color and less delicate in texture than the corolla.
Just above the calyx another whorl, this time of petals, forms the corolla, which is usually brightly coloured. Nestled inside the petals are the male and female parts of the flower. The male organ is the stamen.
Its five corolla lobes (or petals) may be open (C. stapeliiformis) or joined at the tips (C. ampliata). The flowers are usually whitish, with combinations of bright green, brown, and maroon spots, stripes, and shading.
projecting beyond, such as stamens projecting from the corolla

family A group of genera sharing certain characteristics. feral Wild or escaped from domestication and able to reproduce normally. filament The thread-like stalk of a stamen.
Long-tongued bumblebees go for flowers with deep corollas and hidden nectar spurs, such as larkspur, columbine, snapdragon, bergamot, delphinium, mint and members of the tomato family.
They are easily recognized for the distinctive shape of the corolla, and for five backward-facing spurs which are filled with nectar, attracting hummingbirds, bees and other creatures with long proboscises.
The calyx is what you see before the flower opens and it protects the innermost petals. The calyx is made up of the sepals while the corolla is the petals. Example: The calyx is what you see in a fuchsia flower bud.
Anemone flowers have no true petals, but their sepals assume the role of petals, as showy as any true corolla. The unique A.
The flower is bell-shaped and shows no distinction between the calyx and the corolla. It is called a perianth, consisting of six floral leaves joined at their bases. Six yellow anthers are revealed as the floral leaves curl back.
The gland at the base of the corolla, which secretes nectar.

PETAL: a whorl of structures that surround the inner reproductive organs of a flower. Together they are called the corolla. They often attract insects by color or nectar, facilitating pollination.
PETIOLE: A leaf stalk.
Flowers: The compound flowers are composed of 5-8 florets and bracts in dusty rose to mauve, giving the appearance of large clusters. The corolla of each floret is tubular, making them popular with hummingbirds.
Suggested Varieties: ...
For a lighter touch in red annual flowers, there is scarlet gilia, a very beautiful biennial wildflower. Its blooms feature long corollas, like little scarlet trumpets heralding the approach of summer.

PETAL - One of the divisions of the corolla - generally the showy part of the flower.
Perianth- A collective term for the floral envelopes, usually the combined calyx and corolla, or tepals of a flower.
corollata, or flowering spurge, resemble baby's breath, but these plants are easier to grow in poor, heavy soil and are slow to spread. The most dramatic type is E. characias ssp. wulfenii, which can reach 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m) tall and wide.
Petals play an important role in attracting animal pollination to the flower. Sometimes petals are fused to form a tube or other floral shape. The petals of a flower are referred to collectively as the corolla.
Plants may flower when mature in about 80 to 90 days from seed. The small flowers are a curiosity since the calices are purple and corollas white. They are attractive for use as a garnish, adding color to any salad.
