What is the difference between night and day blooming plants?

Day flowering plants are normally pollinated by insects or animals that are active during the day e.g. bees, butterflies and birds. Night flowering plants are pollinated by insects or animals that are active at night such as bats and moths. Night flowering plants are normally very heavily scented to attract insects where as day flowering plants use both sent and visual tools to attract pollinators.


What do pollinated plants produce?

Pollinated plants produce seeds, which are necessary for the plant to reproduce. Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of the flower to the female part, leading to fertilization and seed development.


How is a holly bush pollinated?

Holly bushes are typically pollinated by wind, as they have separate male and female plants where wind helps to carry pollen from male flowers to female flowers. Once pollinated, female flowers will develop into the red berry-like fruits that are characteristic of holly bushes.


If a plant has a sticky stigma is it wind or insect pollinated?

A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.


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.

What color is the night- blooming cereus plant?

As with most night flowering plants the flowers are white ,as they are pollinated by moths and other night flying insects this makes them more easilly seen.


Are plants that are pollinated by moths and bats more likely to have colorful flowers or fragrant flowers?

Plants that are pollinated by moths and bats are not likely to have colorful flowers, but will indeed pollinate fragrant ones. This is because night pollinators, such as the moths and bats have critical ability to find a flower by its fragrance.


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.

Which type of plant causes more hay fever insect pollinated or wind pollinated?

Wind-pollinated plants are primarily responsible for causing more hay fever than insect-pollinated plants. This is because wind-pollinated species, such as grasses, trees, and some weeds, release large quantities of lightweight pollen into the air, which can easily be inhaled by people. In contrast, insect-pollinated plants tend to produce heavier, stickier pollen that is less likely to become airborne and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, individuals with hay fever are more affected by pollen from wind-pollinated plants.
