Blog post 10


This is a close up image of the flower's stigma, and style, between some of the plant's anthers. The stigma is located on top of the style, which is a sticky portion where pollen grains frequently land. The style however, is a stalk below the stigma, supporting it.
In this picture, you can see both the anther, and the filament. A filament is a long, thin stalk that supports the anther.
This is a picture of the flower's petals, which attracts insects and other pollinators to the flower, and in the center you can see the anthers, where meiosis takes place, producing haploid male gametophytes.
