It depends on the plant. Many plants simply release their pollen to the wind, like grasses and conifer trees. Some plants have flowers to attract various animals that carry pollen from flower to flower and pollinate them that way.

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.


Is the pride of barbados wind-pollinated or insect-pollinated?

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


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 sampaguita self-pollinated or cross-pollinated?

Sampaguita is primarily cross-pollinated, where the transfer of pollen occurs between different flowers by insects like bees. In some cases, self-pollination can also occur within the same flower when the pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma.


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.

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.


Why don't wind pollinated flowers are not colourful?

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.


Why are grass flowers not brightly coloured?

because, they are mainly wind pollinated and don't require bright flowers to attract insects
