5. Anther and Filament of Stamen

The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower. It is broken into two main parts, the filament, which functions as a stalk, and the anther, which is the pollen producing portion of the flower. In this image of a daylily, about six dark golden anthers can be seen in the center of the flower, supported by the lighter colored filaments.
