Question

What is the difference between a perfect flower and an imperfect flower?

Answer 1

Perfect flowers have both male and female parts in a single flower. Imperfect flowers have only male or female organs.

ScRuB: Just because a flower is perfect does not mean that it can self fertilize. Many plants have mechanisms to prevent self fertilization.

Answer 2

Perfect flowers are flowers that have both Carpels (Female Organs) and Stamen (Male Organs). This enables them to perform self-pollination.

Imperfect Flowers are flowers that have either a carpel or stamen, but they cannot have both.
