The stamens of the silk flower pollen are unique as the filaments of the five stamens fuse together forming a long dark-pink tube – red coloured staminal tube which encloses the pistil within. The anthers also join to form a canopy at the top. The anthers were scraped open to release the pollen and observed using a foldscope.
