Wild Rose.
Stamens are the male part of a flower. They hold pollen, ready to be distributed to female flower parts.
This Wild Rose has perhaps 100 stamens. The yellow balls at the top of each stamen hold the pollen, and are called the anthers. If you look closely, you can see that each anther has two lobes - this is a common setup.
