Comparison of Stamen and Pistil
The stamen is the male organ of the flower and has two parts, the anther, which produces pollen, and the filament which supports the anther. The pistil is the female organ of the flower that has three parts. The top part of the pistil is called the stigma. The pistil also has the style, a tube-like structure that holds up the stigma and connects the ovary. The ovary holds the ovules. They both work together to reproduce the flower

Grass is another wind-pollinated plant and most wind-pollinated plants are green, and lack scent and petals.

One adaptation of flowers that ensures pollination is the structure. Lined petals or centered stamen both direct the pollinator to the nectar. Another adaptation was bright colors and a mild fragrance that was used to attract the pollinators. The third adaptation was the sticky stigma found on the pistil, which allowed the pollen to be collected.

The top part of the pistil is called the stigma and is sticky to trap and hold pollen to help with the fertilization process. When fertilized the ovary of the pistil will mature into a fruit.

# data[].attributes.body
The Dandelion flower usually produces its seeds using pollen derived from other dandelion plants, known as cross-pollination. When they form seeds, the flower heads turn white and puffy, and the tiny seeds detach from the plant, allowing the wind to carry them in a process known as wind pollination so they can spread and reproduce.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mongolian flower has evolved to a simple structure with leathery petals and well-protected seeds because their pollinators, beetles, are known for being clumsy. For example, the Beatles sometimes eat parts of the flower along with the pollen found in it because their mouths were made more for chewing rather than gathering nectar.

# data[].attributes.body
Hibiscus flowers are pollinated chiefly by hummingbirds. Hibiscus has evolved to have bright colors, which help attract the hummingbirds. The Hibiscus also has petals and middle stamens, which form a bulls-eye to help guide hummingbirds into the flower. Their long peaks are what allows them to reach the nectar.

These two flowers have bright colors with the primary purpose of reproduction and have evolved this trait to attract pollinators. The brighter the flower, the more likely it will be visited.
