(5)Anther & Filament of stamen

·          The stamen of a flower is the male reproductive organ of the flower. Each stamen generally has a stalk, the filament. The top of the filament are the anther & the pollen sacs. The anther is a pollen-bearing portion of the stamen. In this picture you can see the orange buds inside the pink petals. The anther is what you can see form the birds-eye view, containing the pollen in which bees and butterflies may come to pollinate. August 7^th, 4:32 p.m, Grandfather’s Pool
