Some sepals are green but not all are green. It is a modified leaf that protects the flower bud. But sometimes the sepals have as much color as the petals. In daylilies, there are three petals and three sepals. The sepals may have the same color and pattern as the petals or different.
A eucalyptus flower typically has four sepals and four petals.

An orchid flower typically has three sepals. These sepals are often colorful and can resemble petals, contributing to the flower's overall appearance. In addition to the sepals, orchids also have three petals, one of which is usually modified into a distinct structure called the lip or labellum.
A snowdrop typically has three outer sepals. These sepals are often white and resemble petals, contributing to the flower's delicate appearance. In addition to the sepals, snowdrop flowers also have three inner petals that are usually similar in shape but may feature distinct markings.

Petals are big and brightly coloured to attract insects for pollination. Sepals are green, so they can conduct photosynthesis. Thay make food for the flower. Flowers are the reproductive part of a plant because they produce fruit which contains seeds. The sepals also play a major role in protecting the flower during its bud stage.
Morphologically both sepals and petals are a modified leaf. When the flower is in bud, the typical function of the sepals is to enclose and protect the more delicate floral parts within. The sepal also helps protect the delicate petals from bug attacks. Sepals in most flowers are green and lie under (or around) the more conspicuous petals. The rose is one example of a flower with a sepal.

A typical flower has four main types of appendages: sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. Sepals are the outermost leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud, while petals are the colorful, often fragrant structures that attract pollinators. Stamens are the male reproductive structures that produce pollen, and pistils are the female reproductive structures that contain the ovary and stigma for fertilization.
