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.


Difference between animal and wind pollination?

Most grasses and many trees are pollinated by the wind. The pollen carrying organs of these types of plant are exposed so that the wind can distribute their pollen, catkins are a typical wind pollinated structure. Insect pollinated plants need to attract insects to their flowers and they generally have petals and are often brightly coloured.

The pride o barbados is insect pollinated because it produces sweet nectar and is brightly coloured which attracts insects.


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.


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.
