I am sorry, I am getting confused. Was there a picture of flower. Milind Ji was mentioning about the anthers! I haven't seen any picture with flowers in this thread.
If there is a picture of flower please upload or kindly forward the same to me. Dear Muthuji I think flower picture is very much needed for id.
