Flowers are structures on a type of plants called angiosperms, which usually exploit a strategy involving a flower, called biotic pollination which requires another organism (vector) typically, although not always, an insect. By contrast, abiotic pollinators like grasses and conifers would use other means like wind or rarely water to effect pollination. Biotic non-insect pollinators may rely on birds or bats for transport, but the great majority of pollen vectors are insects.

∙ 10y agoFlowers are basically the sex organs of a plant. They contain sperm (pollen) and eggs (in the carpel). By definition, the ovary is where eggs are stored. Therefore, all flowers have ovaries, regardless of whether or not they are insect-pollinated.

Is a hibiscus an insect pollinated flower or a wind pollinated flower?
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. ^^
