Tulips are considered complete flowers.

Tulips are known for their large, cup-shaped flowers and tall, slender stems. Most commonly associated with spring, tulips are available in a variety of colors and sizes, from 6 inches to 2 feet tall. Does this Spark an idea?

  1. Identification

    • "Complete flowers" contain the four major components of the flower: the stamen, pistil, petal and sepal. The stamen and pistil are the "male" and "female" parts of the flower that allow the flower to reproduce.

    Examples

    • Tulips, roses, lilacs and lilies are common varieties of complete flowers.

    Considerations

    • Flowers with functional stamens and pistils are considered "perfect" flowers. All complete flowers are considered "perfect."

    Projects

    • For further understanding of complete flowers, students can dissect a tulip while looking at a flower part worksheet.
