∙ 13y agoHi there the only plants I know to be wind pollinated is dandelions and oak trees dandelions have seed on a splayed parachute to pick them up and drift with the wind and oak seeds get blown of and spin down delaying their descend by spinning allows them to be carried further away.
^^You're confusing pollination with seed dispersal. Oaks are wind pollinated and dandelions are apomictic and don't use pollen at all (produce seed asexually)

∙ 10y agoFar more plants can be wind-pollinated than its just that many normally get pollinated by insects. The most important group of plants designed to be wind-pollinated, by far, - grasses.
If you see a plant that has no flowers in the conventional sense - petals etc. - such as very many trees, it is very likely to be wind-pollinated.
In fact, many crops are wind-pollinated, including:
- Sweet Peas
- Green beans
- Wheat
- Corn
- Amaranth
- Oats
- Rye
- Wild Rice
- Walnut
- Pecans
- (all brassica, like cabbage, broccoli, spinach)
Many more are self-pollinated.
Even of those pollinated by insects, almost all are more efficiently pollinated by some other species, than by honeybees. In fact, honeybees are detrimental to many crops that need specialized pollinators, like cucurbits (cucumbers, squash, melons, and gourds).

How are colorful flower usually pollinated?
colorful flowers are usally pollinated by the flow of the wind
What are some insect pollinated plants?
All plants except the imperfect flower that has no pistil
Is oxygen from wind?
No. Wind or not, oxygen is a major component of air. Earth's plants produce most of its oxygen.
Does the lack of plants in an area reduce soil erosion by wind and water?
no
What areas or surfaces are effected by wind erosion?
All things exposed to the wind are prone to wind erosion. This includes buildings, hills, mountains, plains, deserts, anything. Areas protected most protected from wind erosion are areas with heavy plant growth. Plants take the brunt of the wind, and roots of the plants keep the soil and whatever other materials are in the ground in place.
Are corn plants pollinated by the wind?
Yes.
Are wind pollinated plants attractive?
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.
Are shrubs flowering plants?
No, shrubs are not wind pollinated therefore not a flowering plant. Most flowering plants are pollinated by insects, :D
How do wheat plants mate?
Wheat is a grass and is wind pollinated.
Which plants are normally pollinated by the wind?
grass is a prime example
2 types of wind pollinated flowers?
Common examples of anemophilous (wind-pollinated) plants are ragweed, grass, and conifers.(Generally, any pollen that is considered an allergen, comes from an anemophilous plant)
Why don't wind pollinated flowers are not colourful?
They don't need to be. Color is one method used by insect pollinated plants to attract the insects. Wind pollinated plants such as Grasses and Pine trees don't need to attract pollinators. The male flowers simply release the pollen on to the breeze on a "hit or miss" basis.
How are dahlias pollinated?
Dahlias are pollinated by wind, insects or gardeners.
Why are wind pollinated flowers not usually brightly colored?
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.
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.
What flowers do not need to be pollinated by bees?
Night-flowering, other-pollinated, and wind-pollinated flowers are those which do not need to be pollinated by bees. For example, night-flowering plants may be pollinated by bats, beetles or flies whereas the wind takes responsibility for less bright-colored, less sweet-scented herbaceous flora.
Grass flowers do not have strong fragrances or bright colors. How might these characteristics be related to the way by which grass flowers are pollinated?
Grasses and grains are wind-pollinated, and plants are seed pollinated. There is a difference.
