OVARY:

The central reproductive organ around which the other flower parts are arranged. Located at the base of the pistil; where the egg cells are formed and where the seeds develop. A long style extends from this and is swollen and flared at the tip to form the stigma, which receives the pollen. Also see: Pistil, Style, Stigma.
