The Stamen ♂ and the Stigma ♀

Parts of a hibiscus flower. We are dog sitting while our daughter and granddaughter are away for the Labor Day weekend. I saw that one of her hibiscus blooms was open. Thank you dear friends for all your wonderful comments and favs that placed my "Details" and "Dinner With a Stinger" pictures on the Popular Page!

I like the way the stamens are glowing.

@danette - Males do tend to glow when they are around a beautiful female! :-)

Pistols and stamen and sigma - always get them muddled! Still are! Seen here in all their glory!

So pretty! I like how close you got and those beautiful colours. I went to a Dahlia garden today. It was amazing and I'm not even a flower person.
