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!
colorful flowers are usally pollinated by the flow of the wind
By animals
That is a matter of taste. Grasses (the prime example) can be very attractive. It is the flower not the plants being attractive in case of insect pollinated and not so attractive in case of wind pollinated.
Wind pollinated flowers have sticky stigma

Sticky stigma is generally present in wind pollinated flowers.
Is the nasturtium flower wind or insect pollinated since it is also used to repell insects .
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. ^^
after a flower is pollinated what is the takes place
yes the anthers hand outside the flower on long filaments on a wind pollinated plant so the pollen is not enclosed, and so it is easily carried away by the wind
Dahlias are pollinated by wind, insects or gardeners.
