1. **Flower Structure**: A typical flower has four whorls arranged on the thalamus.
2. **The Sequence** (from outside to inside):
   - **Calyx**: Outermost whorl, made of sepals.
   - **Corolla**: Second whorl, made of **petals**. It is located just **outside the reproductive whorls**.
   - **Androecium**: Male reproductive whorl (stamens).
   - **Gynoecium**: Female reproductive whorl (carpels/pistil).
3. **Role**: Petals are often brightly colored to attract pollinators for the inner reproductive organs.
