Pollens

Pollen is a fine powdery substance typically yellow, It consists of microscopic grains discharged from the male part of a flower or a male cone. Each grain contains a male gamete that can fertilize the female ovule. Flowering plants like hydrangeas, orchids, tulips, and roses produce pollen but keep it enclosed or heavy enough that it rarely becomes airborne, making them safe for sensitive individuals.

Activity 1 – Pollen and our food chain

As part of the food chain, birds and other small mammals are dependent on fruits and seeds to survive. These plants produce heavier, stickier pollen designed to cling to bees, butterflies, birds, and animals. Pollinators spread the powder to other plants, flowers, and seeds.

Activity 2 – Pollination:Spring, Summer, and Fall

Early spring bloomers such as Serviceberry bushes, Maple trees, and Willows are pollenators. As spring turns into summer, perennials such as coneflowers(echinacea), milkweed, Joe Pye weed, and bee balm produce pollens. Fall blooms that share pollens include goldenrod and asters. Herbs like Rosemary, Basil, and Thyme also share pollen with other pollinators, fertilizing other plants.
