The sepals are located at the very end of the flower its self, but on top of the stem. The function of the sepals is that they surround and protect the flower bud.
This is called a bud scale.
The sepals are the green-leaf like structures that enclose and protect the developing flower. It is a modified leaf in the outermost whorl calyx of a flower. The calyx (which the sepals are the outer part of) protects the bud before it opens. The sepal allows the calyx to open and provides rigid support for the petals and reproductive organs of the flower.

The structures that cover and protect the buds of a flower are known as sepals. These are essentially leaves that have been modified.

Leaflike parts that cover and protect the flower bud
A floral bud may produce a blossom. An axillary bud, located in the axil (angle between leaf petiole and the stem), may produce a branch, or new leaf. A terminal bud, located at the apex (the very top of the stem), may increase the height of the plant.

i think the leafy thing is the leaves i really do and it might protect the petals while in the bud!
