Just dropping in to ask for a couple of definitions regarding botanical
terms.
If some kind soul would have a look at the following site
and taking the drawings as a,b,c,d, from the left and tell me what these
'parts' should be called I would be extremely grateful.

I have checked 'The Language of Botany' by C. Debenham but it was too
technical for me as a layman to decide which way to go.

For instance I have been advised to call a : Inflorescence
I always thought this meant the flowering part of a plant.
Could this be used to describe the central column [stamen? stigma?] prior to
the stage where anthers were
swollen with pollen, if the petals were removed?

c. I have been advised to call this a Bud
- again I thought this was the pre flowering stage - relating to a young
flower. I have been advised to use this to describe what I would call
immature fruit ,[the stage before the seeds are fully formed and the
capsule is ready to open]

Thanks in advance
