Anther. The pollen is the little yellow orange bits stuck to the larger purplish thing (the anther).

It is a poppy but not a nice Matilija Poppy.
It is a Prickly Poppy, Argemone Species.

My brother got a notice rom his HOA, "WEEDS!" I went over to his house, found one prickly poppy. I put leather garden gloves on and pulled it. The leaf spines penetrated the glove. Like everything in the Sonoran Desert, it is designed to poison, stab or kill.

You can see the mean looking spines in the photo. Maybe an iron glove would be better.

Looks like a variant of an iris, but it seems a little early for those to blooming...

I agree but I don't think I have ever seen one that hairy (?).

No and no. It is one of the Deadnettles, Lamium species. The ones around my house have white flowers with purple spots but in other yards flowers are all purple. There are about 50 Lamium species in the mint family. Commonly called dead nettles because their leaves resemble stinging nettles with no ability to sting (thus, "deadnettle.) They are edible.
