Among the Anthers, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

An anther combines the stamen of a flower with the filament (the green stalk holding the anthers up in this photo).

I used a white background, and positioned my lens so that the photo would make the viewer feel surrounded by a forest of anthers.
