Structure and function of flowers

The male gametes in flowers are the pollen, while ovules are the female gametes. Pollen from one plant fertilizes the ovules of another plant through flowers, in the cross-fertilisation method of reproduction.
A flower's male parts are the Stamens and female parts are the carpels. Though, most plants produce flowers that have both male and female reproductive parts, separate male and female flowers bloom in some plants.
Study the parts of a simple flower with reference to the location and function of the parts given in the following details.
 

Sepals
Generally green colored exterior protective coverings of a flower.
Petals
Mostly colored to attract pollinating insects and are framed by sepals.
Nectar
The sweet liquid at the base of petals that attracts insects.
Stamens 
 
Pollen producing male organs that include the anther and supporting filament.
Carpels
Female organs that produce ovules inside the ovary, which is attached to the style and stigma.
