This image shows anthers surrounding a stigma. They are all part of the same flower. When both male and female parts appear in the same flower, the flower is said to be perfect. In some species of flowering plant, the male and female parts are located in separate flowers (some flowers are male, some are female), and yet another situation is when the male and female flowers are on entirely separate individuals (some plants are male, some are female)

 Here is a view (40x) of the male reproductive anatomy of a flower, known as the stamen. It has a stalk called the filament coming up from the base of the flower and at the end of this stalk is a part called the anther. This portion of the stamen produces and releases pollen grains, which contain the plant's male gametes (sperm cells).

This is a view (40x) of the female anatomy of a flower called the carpel. The carpel consists of a stalk called a style with a sticky tip called a stigma. It is this sticky tip to which pollen grains adhere (get stuck).

This is a picture of a flower that has had all of the parts stripped away (sepals, petals, stamens, and the top of the carpel) except the ovary (the large green tube on the right), which has been sliced open and has tiny ovules (immature, unfertilized seeds) spilling out--one of these ovules can be seen to the left of the ovary.

#10: Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh my

This is the stamen where the pollen is made. Each flower has many stamens
Shown is the part of the stamen called the anther. 

This is the part of the carpel called the stigma. It is where the pollen mainly will land.

This is part of the carpel called the ovary. were the to be seeds are stored before pollination.
 Look you can see inside.

The Pollen can be carried by The wind , bugs , birds, mammals, or even humans.Once the pollen reaches the stigma pollen tubes carry it down to the ovary. where the it goes into a seed..

Blog Post #10 - Anthers Stigmas and Styles, Oh my

This is a picture of anthers surrounding the stigma. They are different reproductive parts of the  flower. When a flower has both male and female parts, it is considered perfect. With some flowers, the male and female parts are located in separate flowers, but with other flowers, the male and female plants are completely different, such as with lupine.

This is a view (40x) of the female anatomy of a flower called the carpel. The carpel consists of a stalk called a style with a sticky tip called a stigma. It it's the sticky tip to that the pollen grains stick to.

Here is a view (40x) of the male reproductive part of a flower, known as the stamen. It has a stalk called the filament that comes up from the base of the flower, and at the end is the anther. This part of the stamen makes and releases pollen, which hold the plant's male gametes.

This is a picture of a flower that has had all of the parts stripped away except the ovary, which has been cut open and has tiny ovules still inside of it, and some of these ovules can be seen still inside of the ovary.

The plant uses all of these parts to reproduce. It uses the stamen to spread pollen, and fertilize the carpel. The pollen is spread in many different ways, such as through bees. The pollens sperm goes down the stamen and into the ovary, fertilizing the ovules.
