This picture shows the anthers all around the stigma on this flower. The anther is piece of the stamen that generates and produces pollen. Surrounded by anthers is the stigma, which germinates that comes from the anthers. The stigma is a part of the female reproductive organ.

This image shows the stamen. The stamen is also the pollen reproducing organ, it has 2 parts to it, the stalk and anthers.

In this image you can see the female anatomy also known as Carpel. Carpel is a seed bearing leaf like structure that makes up the pistil.

This flower is the end result the ovary and ovules coming out and everything having been removed.





From this dissection I learned how plants fertilize themselves . Self pollination is the first step in the process, but isn't too common, but plants that aren't able to obtain themselves they get fertilized from wind and animals. An example, a bee will come to a flower and leaves it pollen on the flower. So when the bee moves the plant will be able to pollinate itself. Finally, the pollen is able to reach the ovaries it will form a zygote and then create its own seed.
