Female parts: one solid structure comes from the center with 3-fold symmetry (like the fruit), each part dividing into 2 near the tip.

Male parts: come from all around the cyathium, a collection of little sticks with 2 yellow balls each, easily dislocated or removed by wind. The pollen is usually bright yellow. It starts out in a little package that opens up when the time is right.

Female parts in red on these 2 photos (note that bifurcation near the tip of each stigma lobe in the original photos)

The male parts in the first pic are attached to the little yellow puff balls, for example to the right and below where the red lines meet in the cyathium on the right. There are no sex parts at all in the second picture beyond the one indicated in red.
