Common examples of anemophilous (wind-pollinated) plants are ragweed, grass, and conifers.
(Generally, any pollen that is considered an allergen, comes from an anemophilous plant)
Wind-pollinated flowers are all those powdery flowers that are drab, not bright colors or scented (which are for attracting insects for pollination.) Some of these include grasses, and trees like pines and spruces.
grasses are wind pollinated plants, like wheat maize etc..
Wheat, rice, rye-grass flowers, and some trees.
many grasses and trees are wind-pollinated
There are actually quite a few plants that are normally pollinated by wind. One plant that is normally pollinated by wind is the dandelion.
They are plants that rely on the wind to move pollen from one flower to another, rather than on insects. Grasses are a prime example.
hazel trees and grasses.

There are more than 2 flowers which are not colorful and showy. All anemophilous flowers (Flowers which are pollinated by wind) are such flowers as they have no need to attract insects or birds for pollination. Examples for such flowers are : Grass species, Coniferous trees (Pine trees), Ragweed flowers, Hickory family, the Hoary Plantain and Sweet Chestnuts.
Answer 1: If a bloom has large petals and sepals, it's much harder to pollinate the flower. They would just get in the way. Answer 2: Petals and sepals are used to attract pollinators and give them a place to land. Wind pollinated plants don't need to attract pollinators or provide landing space for them. Thus, there is no use for large sepals and petals. .

No. Unlike maize, wheat has closed flowers, and usually self pollinates. It is possible for wheat pollen to spread on the wind, but this is very rare. Most studies have shown an out-crossing rate of at most 2%, and only within a few feet.
Plants reproduce by pollen grains. There are 2 types of pollination: Cross pollination and Self pollination. They are primarily pollinated by means of wind pollination or insect pollination.
during pollination, pollen from the anther (male part) is carried to the sigma (female part). Fertilization happens when a sperm from the pollen moves through the sigma and enters an egg in an ovule. By insects visiting flowers and by wind velocity
The fragrant flower with the bright petals was probably pollinated by bees or other animals. The flowerless plant probably reproduces by spores being carried by the wind.
Agents of PollinationIntroduction of agents of pollinationWhen the pollen grains are shed from anther, they are disseminated by arios agencies. Some of them may, by one means or another, finally reached the stigma of a pistil, either of same or another flower. This transfer of pollen from anther to stigma is called pollination. Agents of pollination are wind, water, insects, birds and bats. Description of Agents of PollinationWind (anemophily): Wind is one of the most important agents of pollination. Pollination brought about through agency of wind in plants is called anemophily. Wind pollinated plants are coconut palm, date palm, cannabis, maize, grasses etc. exhibit the following characters which favour the wind pollination.a) Wind pollinated flowers are inconspicuous and not showy.b) They are devoid of scent, nectar etc.c) The pollen grains are dry and unwettable.d) The anemophilous plants grow in large groups to ensure pollination.e) To catch the pollen grains, the stigma become sticky, hairy, and feathery or branched.2. Water (Hydrophily): Pollination brought about through the agency of water in plants especially submerged plants is termed hydrophily. Examples are Hydrilla, Ceratophyllum, Zostera and Vallisneria are some of the water pollinated plants.3. Insects(Entomophily): Inset pollinated flowers possess following characteristic featuresa) The insect pollinated flowers are fragrant and omit sent and odour. Example Cestrum, Jasmine etc. Rafflesia gives out obnoxious and repelling odour.b) The insect pollinated flowers are beautifully coloured. In flowers, mostly petals are brightly coloured.c) The nectariferous glands produce nectar for feeding the visiting insects.d) To catch the pollen grains, the stigmas become sticky.4. Birds (ornithophily): Ornithophilous flowers differ in number of respects from entomophilous flowers. These kind of flowers are generally scentless. The flowers are usually large in size. They are also beautifully coloured with colour contrasts and are common colours liked by birds.5. Bats (Chiropterophily): The flowers of Kigella pinnata, Durio, Antocephalus are pollinated by bats. The bats hold on to the freely exposed, large and relatively tough flowers, which open in the evening or night. Bats are nocturnal animals and transport pollen over long distances. They usually give off a strong scent like that of rotting fruits. Bats also feed on the copious nectar and pollen which is produced in plenty as compared bird pollinated flowers.

Barley is wind pollinated. The male parts of the flower produce a pollen that is blown off by the wind and this then sticks to the female parts of the flower as the breeze blows past them. As with most wind pollinated plants, huge amounts of pollen are produced and breathing this can cause certain people to develop hay fever in the spring/summer.
There are a lot of ways to pollinate flowers. One way (the most common way), is to take a Q-tip and rub the center of the flowers. Then, take the same Q tip and rub another flower the same way. I hope that helps!!
If you take flowers to mean angiosperms (the group name for all flowering plants) then surprisingly few are found in the rainforest. This is primarily due to the lack of sunlight that is capable of penetrating through the thick upper canopy (only around 2% reaches the forest floor). Most plants produce a 'flower' of some sort - an organ which disperses/collects gametes of the opposite sex. The majority of rainforest plants are insect pollinated as there is little wind flow. A surprisingly number are pollinated by mammals (eg bats) as well as the more common insect pollination.
