The term 'flower stalk' is composed of three parts: STEM, SCAPE, and PEDUNCLE. A STEM is the main stalk of a plant, which supports the leaves, flowers, and fruits. A SCAPE is a leafless flower stalk that arises from the ground and supports a single flower or cluster of flowers. A PEDUNCLE is a stalk that supports a single flower or inflorescence. Together, these three parts form the flower stalk, which provides support for the flower and helps it to grow.
