INSECTS POLLINATED

FLOWER

We call animals or insects that

transfer pollen from plant to plant
“pollinators”. 0nce on the stigma,
pollen may “germinate,” which
means that a “pollen tube” forms
on the sticky surface of the stigma
and grows down into the ovule of the
plant.

BIRDS POLLINATED
FLOWER
Many species of small birds,
such as hummingbirds and sun
birds, are pollinators for plants 
such as orchids and other wildflowers.
As a bird seeks energy-rich nectar,
pollen is deposited on the bird's 
head and neck and is then transferred
to the next flower it visit.

WATER POLLINATED

FLOWER

The process of transfer of the

pollen from the anther to the stigma is
known as pollination. Anemophily
or wind pollination is a form of pollination
whereby pollen is distributed by wind.
Almost all gymnosperms are anemophilous,
as are many plants in the order poales, 
including grasses, sedges and rushes.
Other common anemophilous plants are oaks,
sweet chestnuts, alders and members
of the family Juglandaceae (hickory or walnut
family).

WIND POLLINATED FLOWER

Wind-pollinated flowers do not

produce scents or nectar; instead, they
tend to have small or no petals and
to produce large amounts of
lightweight pollen. Some species of 
flowers release pollen that can float on
water; pollination occurs when the pollen
reaches another plant of the same species
