Some plants do not have flowers. Nearly all the plants you see around you are flowering plants: trees, bushes, vines, grasses and the "weeds". The flowers may not be big and showy, but they are there if you look for them. When flowering plants spread all over the world, about a hundred million years ago, they pushed aside the ferns and mosses and cone-bearing trees that had covered the planet for many millions of years.

Is a buttercup flower a wind or insect pollinated plant?
It's bright and showy, and even has little nectar ducts under its petals, so insect-pollinated. Wind-pollinated plants generally don't have flowers, or the flowers are very small and inconspicuous, like those of grass. Wind-pollinated plants also make far more pollen (try tapping a pine tree or reed in spring) because the wind does not take it directly to its destination, much of it will be lost. With insects there's a fair chance the little there is will reach another flower of the same species.
