Question
Hi, I have a question about the Loropetalum chinense. The flower looks like it only has the petals. Does it have any stamens and stigmas? Thank you!
Answer
Jimmy, yes, Loropetalum has stamens and carpels, they are just short and somewhat concealed by the more conspicuous petals. The flowers of this species also have sepals, but they too are short and dwarfed by the color and length of the petals. Best wishes.
