anther and filament of stamen


     This specimen is a lily flower. The flower was found in my garden. It's related to the term because the lily flower contains the anther and filament of a stamen. The red pollen is the anther, and the green stalk is the filament. The anther is the pollen-bearing part of the stamen, and the filament is the stalk that bears the anther in a stamen.
