A perfect flower, in botany, is a hermaphroditic flower with both stamens and an ovary. A plant with perfect flowers is capable of self-pollination and can reproduce without the presence of another member of its species. Such a plant is therefore by definition monoecious, though not all monoecious plants have perfect flowers. Examples of plants with perfect flowers include the lily, rose, tomato, apple, and dandelion, and in fact most fruit-bearing plants in North America have perfect flowers.
