Flowering and Pollination — Essential Processes in Plant Life

What is the flowering period?

The flowering period is an important stage in a plant’s life. It starts when one flower opens and ends when the next one blooms. Depending on the plant species, this period can last from a few hours to several months.

The process of pollination

Pollination is a biological process essential for plant reproduction. It occurs when pollen reaches the stigma of a pistil, resulting in seed formation.

Main types of pollination:

  • Insect pollination — involves bees, butterflies, and other insects.

  • Wind pollination — pollen is carried by the wind to other plants.

  • Water pollination — occurs in some aquatic plants.

Wind pollination (anemophily)

Some trees and herbaceous plants rely primarily on wind for pollination. Their pollen is very light and fine, allowing it to travel long distances. This can trigger allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to pollen.
