How do you determine the type of flower by the characteristics of its leaves?

In: Science, Flower Gardening, Botany or Plant Biology [Edit categories]

Answer:

leaves with parallel venation are normally monocots, this means they will have flowers with monocot characteristics (floral parts in multiples of 3).

leaves with branched/ net venation are normally diocots, this means they will have flowers with diocot characteristics (floral parts in multiples of 4 and 5).
