3.3b wind pollination

- the anther to the stigma is through air, carried by the wind
- light weight pollen grains are designed to float through the wind
- the anthers are exposed to the wind
- stigmas will have a large surface area- feather like structures to catch the pollen grains
- no colours, no scents, no nectories because there is no need to attract the insects
