how do i grow flowers from a flower?

is it possible to take pollen from a flower and plant it to grow more flowers? or is there more to it. im presuming that the dangly things inside a flower is pollen. do i just plant them to grow more flowers? the flowers im refering to are asiatic lilys. i have them in my front garden and would love to grow some in my back garden.

thanks

 

The things inside flowers are the stamen and pistils, the male and female bits of flowers. Anthers, which contain pollen, are part of the stamen. Stigmas, part of the pistil, collect it.
Flowers are pollinated by insects such as bees, which get pollen on themselves when seeking nectar and transfer the pollen to the next flower. After pollination you get fruiting, which is when the seed heads form. This is when you collect seeds to sow.

However, lilies are bulbs. When they have finished flowering and the leaves have died down, carefully dig them up. You should find small bulbils forming on the outside of the main bulb. You can remove these and plant them up, although it will take a couple of years for them to produce flowers. Replant the main bulb where you want it to flower next year.

 

I wish it was enough to sprinkle the pollen on the ground.
