Cross-pollinated flowers usually have their stamens higher than their pistils. This is what will make it easer for the pollen grains to fall on the pistils for purposes of pollination

Does the filament produce pollen?
No, the stamens do. The stamens are the male parts and pistils are the female parts.
What are the properties of a cactus flower?
Cactus are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north. They are often found in drought-ridden areas. Spines and areoles give rise to flowers, which are usually tubular and multi-petaled. Cactus flowers usually have many stamens, but only a single style, which may branch at the end into more than one stigma.
Are all flowers colorful?
Some plants do not have flowers. Nearly all the plants you see around you are flowering plants: trees, bushes, vines, grasses and the "weeds". The flowers may not be big and showy, but they are there if you look for them. When flowering plants spread all over the world, about a hundred million years ago, they pushed aside the ferns and mosses and cone-bearing trees that had covered the planet for many millions of years. Of course, those plants are still here but they no longer have the planet to themselves as they did before the development of the super-successful flowering plants.
What is the different between a pistil and a stamen?
Stamens are usually more numerous in flowers; there is usually only one pistil.
What is the role of the stamens?
The stamen is referred to as the "male" part of a flower because it produces pollen. Once pollen is deposited on the pistil (the "female" part) seeds are produced. Pollen is often carried on the legs of honey bees and as the bees flit from flower to flower collecting nectar, the pollen is deposited on the pistils. The plant makes seeds, the seeds are scattered about the ground (often in bird poop) The seeds germinate, that is, they grow into new plants. The more I study the evolution of life on our planet, the more amazing it all seems.

What contains the sexual organs of the plant?
The sexual organs of a plant are in the flowers. The pistil (center "post" inside a flower) is the female part of the flower, and the stamens (located around the pistil) are the male parts of the flower. A flower can sometimes pollinate itself, but usually, an intermediary is involved. That is where the term "birds and bees" come from. Bees and small birds try to gather nectar from the plants, and in the process, they knock pollen onto the pistils and carry pollen between plants. Pollen plays the same role in plants that semen plays in humans and other animals.
How does the number of stamens compare to the number of pistols?
Depends on the flower, but usually six: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamen
