Paw paw trees are pollinated by carrion flies. Sunflowers and lupine are pollenated by bees.
Wind-pollinated flowers tend to be less showy and colorful compared to insect-pollinated flowers which are often brightly colored and fragrant to attract insects. However, the structure of wind-pollinated flowers is specialized for efficient wind dispersal of pollen, which is important for their reproduction. So, while they may not be as visually attractive to us, they are still well-adapted for their method of pollination.
Insect-pollinated flowers may still be pollinated by wind as a backup method to ensure successful pollination in case insect activity is limited. Wind can help transfer pollen between flowers when insects are scarce or when weather conditions are unfavorable for insect pollination. This redundancy increases the chances of successful pollination and seed production for the plant.

Insect-pollinated flowers are generally smaller and lighter compared to wind-pollinated flowers. They often possess bright colors, intricate shapes, and fragrant scents to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These adaptations help ensure effective pollination, as insects tend to visit multiple flowers, transferring pollen between them. The size and weight of these flowers are optimized for accessibility to their specific pollinators, enhancing reproductive success.
No, stigma is not an insect pollinated plant. The stigma is actually a part of the flower's female reproductive system that receives pollen during pollination. Insect-pollinated plants rely on insects to transfer pollen between flowers for fertilization.

Aspidistra. Pollinated by snails.
Roses are pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies, though they can also be pollinated by the wind. Honeybees are the most common pollinators of sunflowers, and daisies are also pollinated by bees.
flowers are pollinated by insect
bright flowers get pollinated because the insect attract them because of the color of the flower
Nectar
It is not necessary. Some flowers attract insect by their bright color as in case of Petunias.
Color and fragrance are two adaptations of insect-pollinated flowers. Flowering plants which benefit from insect pollinators need to call attention to themselves by arthropod-attractive scents and striking colors.
The pride o barbados is insect pollinated because it produces sweet nectar and is brightly coloured which attracts insects.
Insect-pollinated flowers usually have sticky pollen to increase the chances of pollen transfer. The stickiness helps the pollen grains adhere to the bodies of insects as they move between flowers, promoting effective pollination. This helps ensure successful reproduction for the plant.
