3.3b Wind Pollination



Pollen from the Anther --> Stigma of another flower

Pollen Grain adaptations for wind to carry:
- light weight
- anthers exposed to wind / away from the flower (no blockage)
- stigma with large Surface Area (to catch pollen in the wind)

Does not need to attract insects, so no colour/scent/fructose
