Anther, photo by Harold Davis. View this photograph larger.

I may not know the question, but here’s the anther! Ha, ha, just kidding! (Here’s a flower anatomy lesson showing how the anther relates to the other sexual organs of the flower.) Normally, we don’t look at the parts of a flower as close as they are shown in these photos.

I photographed the anther above on an asiatic lily using my Nikon wireless macro strobe kit. The two anther photographs below were long daylight exposures of a day lily.
