wind pollinated
Are bright in colour Produce sugary nectar Are large in size Have a scent
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.
Spider lily flowers are typically pollinated by insects and animals, such as bees and butterflies, attracted by their bright colors and scent. They are not primarily pollinated by wind.
You can easily know whether flowers are wind pollinated by just looking at their structure. These flowers have very small petal and they do not have any scent or nectar to attract insects. The pollen is also produced in large quantities since most of it never gets to the other flowers.
The answer is really pretty simple. Flowers that are pollinated by insects are pollinated by insects going from one flower to an other, carrying pollen from one flower to the next. Wind pollination is caused by the wind carrying pollen from one flower to an other one.Usually insect pollinated flowers have large, brightly colored petals also sweet scented nectaries at the base of the petals - some flowers may look bland but when viewed under ultra violet or infrared light are very conspicuous.The Stamen is short, with anthers firmly attached inside the flower. The Stigma is sticky and is located on the inside of the flower. Additionally the pollen grain are produced in small amounts, it is rough/ spiky and its large. This features are used to attract insects for pollination. The pollen grains are sticky and rough so it clings onto the insect's body. The Stigma is also sticky so the pollen grains remains in place and wont get carried away by the wind currents.Many, but not all dicotyledonous flowers are insect pollinated.Wind pollinated flowers are small and inconspicuous. Sometimes green or brown in color and has no scent or nectaries (such as the flowers of grass plants).The Stamen has long filaments, with anthers that hang outside the flower. The Stigma is large, branched and feathery. The pollen grains are produced in large amounts, its smooth and light hence it can be carried away by the gentlest of wind currents.Many, but not all monocotyledonous flowers and cone producing gymnosperms are wind pollinated.
Because they are normally pollinated by moths or bats and have no need to be coloured - they normally have a strong scent to attract pollinators
Grass flowers' lack of strong fragrances and bright colors is likely related to their method of wind pollination. Wind-pollinated plants do not rely on attracting pollinators with scent or color; instead, they release large amounts of lightweight pollen into the air to be carried by the wind to neighboring flowers. This strategy is more efficient for grass flowers, as it allows for widespread dispersal of pollen for successful pollination.
Sphinx moth is an insect that is attracted to night-blooming white flowers due to their strong scent and nectar.
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.
Different flowers use different methods of attracting pollinators. Some use scent others use colour depending on what type of insect they are trying to attract.
Adenium obesum is primarily pollinated by insects, such as bees and butterflies, that transfer pollen between flowers. The flowers of adenium obesum are designed to attract these pollinators through color and scent, leading to successful pollination and seed production.
