Wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers as they are not pollinated by animals, insects or birds. Since wind-pollinated plants do not need colorful flowers, they might as well put their energy into making their pollen lighter, or more of it.
If the flowers weren't pollinated the plants would not be able to produce fruit or seed.
insectivorous
Wind-pollinated flowers have many key differences from insect-pollinated ones. Since they don't need to attract insects, wind-pollinated flowers tend to have smaller petals, are odorless, are less colorful, and don't have nectar. Examples are ragweed, corn and wheat.
They will most likely have less because they are not the kind of flower that really sticks out because of certain coloring, so that's also why they can depend on wing more than animals to pollinate.

Flowers attract insects. Insects pollinate the flowers. Pollinated flowers produce seeds. Seeds grow into apples.
Unfertilized flowers do not produce fruit. Some flowers are self-pollinating, which means that you do not need two to pollinate. These are still pollinated in order to produce fruit.
flowers, fruit, seed pods......whatever that specific plant makes, it will only make if its BEEn pollinated

Flowers.... Fruiting trees and bushes produce flowers - the flowers are pollinated by insects - and the fertilised flowers turn into buds, from which the fruit grows.

The cherry tree (various varieties) produce flowers. The flowers attract flying insects that cross pollinate the trees. Once pollinated, the cherry tree produces a fruit known as a cherry. They do not produce cones!
