    		I think the answer is anther. That is the pollen-producing thing at the top of the stamens (male parts), which are stalks that look a lot like the carpel (female part) that they surround. -see http://www.factmonster.com/dk/science/encyclopedia/flowering-plants.html.

    		Thanks for the link. Looking at the diagram and an Easter Lily I believe the trilobed part is the carpel and the stalk is called a style. Thanks, sportsherald.
