Pollination

Pollen grains are tiny and usually yellow. They form on the tips of the stamens.

Pollination is the movement of pollen from the stamens to the ovary. This movement usually takes place in the same plant.

Pollination also takes place between plants of the same type.

Insect Pollination
Insects transport pollen between plants. Insects are attracted by large aromatic flowers with nectar.

Wind Pollination
The wind blows pollen from small, less attractive flowers.
