Meiosis in Lillium. The cells undergoing meiosis are the ones with the elongated nuclei.

Michael, I don't see any cell in meiosis, if it's a prepared slide maybe you can look for inmature pollen grains, a classic subjet to study meiosis. In fact meiosis only occurs in germinal cells, in flower plants only in pollen and ovules

Pau,
In fact, the prepared slide is labeled "Meiosis in Lillium pollen w.m.

Well, look for the pollen grains inside the flower bud, in the picture you're showing parenchimatic immature cells

(if you want I can send you a picture showing how it looks)
