yellow lily pollen

40X+zoom

For those of you first curious as to what yellow lily flowers are, they are plants with 6 large petals surrounding the anthers, also having the yellow color likely to attract other insects to pollinate.

The pictures seen here display a small amount of pollen from the flower.

The arrow points to the pollen grains which the pollen shed. If you also don't know what pollen is exactly, the general definition is it's the male gametes of a flower and has the sole purpose of being spread to other flowers.

Using oil immersion, I zoomed onto the pollen grains here and what interested me from the start was how even the smallest pollen grains retained the yellow color of the flower's pigment.
