Anther and Filament of Stamen

This is an example of an anther and filament of stamen. These parts of the flower produce pollen that is later collected by pollinators and spread to other flowers. In the picture, you can see the pollen that is collected on the anther. The anther is being held up the long stem called the filament to give pollinators easier access to the pollen.
