These are leaf-like green structures and are attached to the base of the flower. the sepals protected the flower when it was a young bud.
You've likely seen a flower before, whether as part of a bouquet or growing wild in a field. But have you ever looked really closely at a flower? If you did, you would see that a flower is made up of many parts, one of them being the sepals.
Sepals are modified leaves that form the outer whorl of a flower. They are typically green but can be other colors. Flowers have different numbers of sepals depending on the species. Collectively, the sepals are referred to as the calyx of the flower. With this flower, you can see that the sepals are red, not green.
Sepals are attached directly to the top of the stem of the flowering
plant. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some sepals are long and thin, while others are short and thick. Some sepals are individualized, while others are fused together to make a cup formation around the petals of the flower.
