    Wind-pollinated flowers produce large amounts of small, lightweight pollen grains that are usually smooth, allowing them to be easily carried by the wind for pollination. In contrast, insect-pollinated flowers tend to have smaller amounts of larger, heavier pollen grains that contain spikes or hooks to more easily attach to insects which carry the pollen from flower to flower. The differences in pollen production help ensure the flowers are pollinated by their intended pollinators.

    The pollen produced by insect and wind-pollinated owers is also different:


    Insect pollinated owers produce smaller amounts of larger, heavier pollen grains
    that often contain spikes or hooks on the outside so they are better able to stick to
    insects
    Wind pollinated owers produce large amounts of small, lightweight pollen grains
    that are usually smooth
