First of all, only for those who are perhaps wondering what is macro photography , I want to remind that by macrophotography, in the broad sense of the word is meant the photographing of small and very small objects, up to 1: 1 reproduction ratios. The reproduction ratio is the ratio between the actual size of the subject and the size of its image on the sensor or film.
For today’s challenge I share this photo I took some time ago. They are the stamens of a flower dear to me and that I am delighted year after year with its beauty. Stamens are the male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament.

Wow! Lovely macro!!
I’ve no idea who they belongs to …
Fabulous shot, Ileana! This looks like a hippeastrum (commonly known as amaryllis).
Thank you, Norman! You are right! They are stamens of amaryllis.
Thank you, Ileana 🙂
This is such a beautiful macro! I believe it’s a lily.
There are stamens of amaryllis, which is also a type of lily
Wonderful picture. I think it’s a lily.
Thank you! They are stamens of amaryllis.
This looks like a tiger lily or it could be a tulip.
They are stamens of amaryllis. Tiger Lily stamens have red pollen.
