Garden Musings: What’s stalking flowers and foliage?

When a flower clusters with friends,
a Pedicel supports its end.
When flowers cluster together,
a Peduncle's at the nether;
or when a flower stands alone,
Peduncle also finds a home.
But, if it's a leaf and its blade,
with Petiole, stem contact's made.
Flowers and leaves too are special,
when without stalks, they're called Sessile.
