Which plants are wind-pollinated and which are insects?

Distinguishing wind-pollinated plants from those that are pollinated by insects is quite simple.

Flowers of insect pollinated plants are usually large and bright, or small, but collected in clearly visible inflorescences. This is done to attract the attention of pollinators: bees, bumblebees, butterflies. In addition, the flower can have a delicious smell and nectar, as well as sticky and coarse pollen. Examples of plants pollinated by insects: linden, clover, carnation, honeysuckle.

The flowers of wind-pollinated plants are usually small and inconspicuous. Their pollen is small and dry (such pollen is more easily carried by the wind). The flowers do not smell and do not emit nectar. Examples of wind-pollinated plants: oak, hazel, spruce, rye, corn.
