He took it upon himself to pollinate the plants by bringing the pollen of one plant to the pollen of another different plant, forcing cross-pollination.
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
He pollinated the plants himself and in the process he mixed the pollen from pea plants that had different colored to see what the end result would be (I got this all from a textbook I swear)

flowers, fruit, seed pods......whatever that specific plant makes, it will only make if its BEEn pollinated
Mendel used the stamen (male) of one plant and used it to fertilize the carpels of another plant. He did this to see what traits would be shown in the F2 generation, and thus which were dominant to others. actually it is called cross pollinate dumbbutts
Cross-pollinated flowers usually have their stamens higher than their pistils. This is what will make it easer for the pollen grains to fall on the pistils for purposes of pollination
Its because they were pollinated by a hot pepper. I have had sweet banana peppers cross pollinated by either a cayanne or a jalipeno and it was so hot, it would make your underwear burst into flames the next day.
Mendel selected pea plant for his experiments on hybridization and got success. This was because-1. Pea plant was self pollinated and the characters observed by him was stable. 2. Pea plant has so many variability in flower color, pod shape, plant length, position of inflorescence, shape of seed etc. 3. The life span of the plant under observation was short hence he could raise many generations to see the pattern of inheritance of characters. 4. He kept numerical record of the data (application of mathematics in genetic studies).
Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.
Water milfoil is a flowering plant despite living in water. Its flowers need to be pollinated in order for it to make seeds. It is wind pollinated so the flowers need to be above the water.
Polymorphism is a term used to describe a genetic feature that has multiple forms or alleles within a population. This variation allows individuals within the population to exhibit different phenotypes for that particular trait. Polymorphism is important for evolution as it can provide diversity and adaptability to changing environments.
He experimented using less than 14,00 pea plants to not make the laws
