Anther and Filament of Stamen

This picture is showing the anther and filament of a stamen, where pollen is produced and carried until a pollinator comes by and takes some of the pollen to another flower. The stamen is the stem that holds up the anther high so there is a greater chance for it to be pollinated. The anther is the little bulb at the top that holds all the pollen. The pollen is the yellow powdery stuff.
