Stigma & Style of Carpel

The carpel is the female reproductive organ of a flower and in it you will find both the stigma and style.  The style is the stalk of the carpel and is found in the middle.  The stigma is located on the circle on top of the carpel.  It is sticky and is designed to help trap pollen.  This picture portrays both the stigma and style.
