Wind pollinated flowers are:
small, brightly coloured, producing large number of pollen grains
small, producing large number of dry pollen grains
large, producing abundant nectar and pollen
small, producing nectar and dry pollen
Wind pollination, the most common form of abiotic pollination, requires specific adaptations: the flowers are typically small, grouped in inflorescences, and lack bright colours or nectar since they do not need to attract animal pollinators . To ensure successful pollination despite the random nature of wind, these plants produce a vast quantity of pollen grains which are light and non-sticky (dry) to facilitate easy dispersal .
