Detailed explanation-1: -These types of flowers are small and not so bright, and they seem dull. They don’t have any fragrances. They have long anthers which are protruding out of the flower to help pollen grains to blow off easily. These flowers can produce a large quantity of pollen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wind-pollinated flowers don’t need to be attractive to insects, so they are usually small and do not produce nectar or have large colourful petals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pollen grains of wind-pollinated flowers are produced in large quantities to make sure that at least some pollen grains reach the stigmas of other flowers and successful pollination takes place as many pollen grains are wasted. These pollen grains are light and hence are easily transferred to other flowers.
