Lily Pollen Under a Microscope - Palynology

Look close at all the activity inside the Lily pollen particles!
Pollen is made from the male plants and trees in order to fertilize a female plant or tree.
The pollen grains are actually whole male organisms that will produce sperm cells to fertilize the females.
It is the plant's way of reproducing, not too unlike the reproductive process of humans and animals.

Flowers often use bright colors and scents to attract insects with the single purpose of getting help with transferring pollen.
(Lily`s are a good example with their colors and nice smell).
When the female plant is fertilized by the pollen, they produce seeds or fruits (which are basically their offspring.)
