    These about black Pelargonium sidoides flowers display their reddish anthers on tapering, white filaments in front of the pair of upper petals. They are less than half as long as the petals. 

    The upper petals are reflexed near their tips, the lower ones smaller and spreading forward. The pollen is orange-yellow (www.plantzafrica.com).
