Pollination syndrome

Baltimore (Euphydryas phaeton) nectaring at daisy (Argyranthemum)

Plantago media, pollinated by wind or insects

Sunflower pollinated by butterflies and bees

Pollination syndromes are suites of flower traits that have evolved in response to natural selection imposed by different pollen vectors, which can be abiotic (wind and water) or biotic, such as birds, bees, flies, and so forth. These traits include flower shape, size, colour, odour, reward type and amount, nectar composition, timing of flowering, etc. For example, tubular red flowers with copious nectar often attract birds; foul smelling flowers attract carrion flies or beetles, etc.
