No - pollination requires the presence of both pollen (male contribution from anthers) and ovules (female contribution from the pistil). Imperfect flowers have flowers with either male organs or female organs, not both. As a result, they require cross-pollination to produce seeds.

Self-pollination of a plant is where a plant's pollen (from the anthers) lands on the same plant's stigma, causing it to pollinate itself.
