> Anything that flowers produces pollen right - so hmm.

Yes, but not all pollens are designed to feed insects. Yews or Cypresses release huge amounts of pollen that will paint a car in yellow, but will not attract pollinators.




Ah yes, those are wind pollinating plants, well tree's.

Would also explain the volume of pollen over normal insect pollinated plants. Thank you for that though, I did overlook those type of pollinated plants. Though I'm not aware of any flowers that are wind pollinated, though I'm sure their will be some as every rule has an exception I've found.
