I enjoy seeing the purple dead-nettles, so thanks for sharing yours. The "things" on the petal are the anthers that contain the pollen. The stigma is deeper in the blossom. When a bee comes in, its head rubs on the anthers and it carries the pollen deeper into the blossom as it probes around. Mother Nature has a solution for every situation.
Thanks for the info. I had considered the possibility that the spheres were polllen. I always find interesting things in macro photos.
