4.) Long-Day Plant


This is a picture of cabbage which is an example of a long-day plant. Long-day plants only flower once exposed to longer than average periods of light, such as in summer. Some other examples of long-day plants include spinach, lettuce, and some wheat varieties.

3.) Anther and Filament

This is a picture of a common daylily which shows the anther and filament of a stamen. This is where the pollen of a flower is stored and produced. The anther holds the pollen while the filament, a long stem-like structure, holds the anther up so pollinators can reach it. The anther can either be placed at the end of the filament (as pictured) or towards the center.
