Best Answer

Pollen grains, which to us look like powder, are blown by the wind to a nearby flower of the same species, where they can land and fertilize the egg. (a flower's ovum and pollen correspond to egg and sperm). Thus the plants reproduce sexually with a partner other than themselves!

Is a hibiscus an insect pollinated flower or a wind pollinated flower?

Hibiscus is actually pollinated by hummingbirds! Red flowers always most likely are because birds can see red better than insects (they're better at the blue and purple part of the spectrum). Also, the pollen is far away from the nectar. If a hummingbird puts its tongue into the flower, the pollen will be deposited on its back. An insect would never touch the pollen when crawling into the flower to the nectar. ^^
