Question: Study and write about the flowers adapted to pollination by insects?
Insect pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male anthers of a flower, to the female stigma. Insect pollinated flowers can be categorized into five main categories based on their color and scent.
First, there are strongly scented flowers with bright colors. These flowers have a powerful, sweet smell and are often yellow, red, pink, or purple in color. The goal of these flowers is to attract the most insect visitors, as they contain a higher concentration of food and pollen than other flowers. Examples of these flowers include roses, marigolds, begonias, dahlias, and hibiscus.
Second, there are scented flowers with light colors. These flowers have a light scent, usually with at least some hint of sweetness. These flowers may also have light colours, such as white, pale yellow, light pink, or light purple. Examples of these flowers include lavender, daisies, chrysanthemums, lilies-of-the-valley, and freesia.
Third, there are sweet-scented flowers with stunning colours. These flowers have an intense, sweet smell, and are often bright in colour. Examples of these flowers include daffodils, gerberas, zinnias, sunflowers, and snapdragons.
Fourth, there are no-scented flowers with bright colours. These flowers have no scent, or have a scent that is so faint humans cannot detect. These flowers tend to be very large, and have deep and vibrant colours to attract insect pollinators. Examples of these flowers include ornate and large petaled flowers such as orchids, magnolias, and passionflower.
Finally, there are no-scented flowers with dull colours. These flowers have no scent, or have a scent that is so faint humans cannot detect. These flowers may also havesmall delicate blooms, with duller colours and a muted fragrance. Examples of these flowers include columbines, impatiens, anemones, and anthemums, lilies-of-the-valley, and freesia.
