Apologies to jan1956 & Catron!!

I just stuck 'Sepal' in without thinking - of course 'Petal' works!

When I went to school a petal was part of the corolla and a sepal was part of the calyx so I see nothing wrong with petal.

[jan1956]

I think I was trying to find a harder answer, had petal but it seemed too easy,
