Ornithoglossum undulatum golden anthers

This old Ornithoglossum undulatum flower has folded in its already narrow petals, some not to their tips.

The anthers at the stamen tips are by now long, narrow and curving, their surfaces yellow to gold and grainy from pollen. Their filaments have become slightly tangled from bending under age, but not as much as the styles that have shrivelled almost out of sight.

The pale cerise ovary is swelling in the flower base (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Shearing and Van Heerden, 2008; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
