How are the flowers the same?

• They are both red.

• Each flower has 6 petals.

• Did you count the anthers (male flower part that contains the pollen)?

• There are 6 anthers in each flower, too.

• In the center of the flower is the stigma (female flower part where the pollen goes to the egg).

• The stigma looks like one tube, but it's made of 3 tubes that are fused together. You can see the 3 tubes if you look closely at the top of the stigma.

• They each have a little different red pigment (color).

• The tulip (top photo) has petals all the same size.

• The pollen grains on the anthers aren't the same color.

• The anthers are different lengths.
