Anther and Filament of a Stamen

IMG_2989.JPG

This is a picture of the anther and filament of a stamen. The male reproductive part of the flower, the stamen, consists of the anther and filament. The anther is the structure that produces pollen, and the filament is a stalk-like structure that is attached to the base of the flower and supports the anther. The stamen will carry and produce pollen until a pollinator comes by and takes the pollen to another flower.
