Lily

Each lily flower has six stamens - the male reproductive organs. These stamens are made up of thin stalks, often referred to as filaments, having anthers or organs that bear the pollens at their tips. The color of lily pollens differs from light yellow to deep brown. The difference depends on the species and hybrids of lilies. At the center of the flower, there is a pistil - the female reproductive parts. The pistils are made up of the ovary at their base - the place where seeds are formed, an elongated style and a stigma having three lobes at the tips - the place where the pollens get fixed.
