Geranium drakensbergensis pollen on the anthers

The pollen of a Geranium drakensbergensis flower ripens whitish on the usually blue-purple anthers. Lavish amounts of it can be seen on the upper anther surfaces in picture.

The pink-red cylinder of the still developing style in the centre has not yet parted its five branches as it awaits its own flower’s pollen to be distributed elsewhere, before extending the sticky stigma surfaces for receiving some from other flowers.

Corolla veins in picture vary much in size and colour (iNaturalist; http://pza.sanbi.org).
