Anther and filament of stamen

The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower. It produces pollen, and consists of the anther and stalk. The anther is the sac in which pollen grains develop and is located at the stamen's tip. The filament is the stalk that supports the anther. The flower I have pictured has small filaments and anthers that are hard to see but you can kinda see it in the very bottom flower. The pollon on the anther will spread by animals and wind to other flowers.
