I don't know for sure, but looking again I see that a number of flowers
have a mix of lighter and darker coloured stamens (is that the right

The stamen is the whole thing, the anther's the bit at the top that
holds the pollen, and the filament is the stem that supports the anther.

The female bit of the flower is the style and stigma
