The flower is attached to the plant by a stem called a peduncle. This stem has vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) just like all the rest of the plant. When the flower is fertilized the plant begins to supply the ovary with sap by way of the phloem. The ovary matures but the fruit remains attached by its peduncle to the stalk or stem or branch of the plant.
Pedicel is the small end division from a main peduncle; the stalk supporting a single flower in an inflorescence (a group of flowers). The peduncle supports the group of flowers while the pedicel supports each flower in the group. Queen Ann's Lace or wild carrots have a peduncle rise up to where the pedicels split into the umbrel of tiny white flowers.

If the flower has no main stalk but grows directly from the plant it is caulescent. The Redbud tree has flower buds on old growth that are caulescent.
