My knowledge of English or Latin is not enough here. If you don't know the answers, please give me at least the suggestion. I have mine to compare, but I don't want to suggest you your answer. I know that the Pistil and Stamen are sexual organs of flowers. I believe the Pistil inserts into the Stamen, which would make me believe the Pistil is the male organ. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Vojthas 947 Posted January 2, 2021 #183 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Yeah, my thought as well. I mean "pistil" sounds a little bit like "penis" and "testicles" combined, while "stamen" a little bit like "hymen". (We've had medical English much better taught than parts of flower... or I was sleepy then). OK, @Quasit my FINAL answer is B: Pistil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojthas 947 Posted January 2, 2021 #184 Share Posted January 2, 2021 PS. As far as I remember from biology lessons, pistil does not insert into the stamen, as the flowers are "reproducing" with a help of: bees, water (rare) or wind. But if that helped Olympian to remember it better, then I am more sure of his answer. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended Catholic school, so even the flowers were sexually repressed I’m surprised we learned about it tbh “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
