Best Answer

They don't need to be.

Color is one method used by insect pollinated plants to attract the insects.

Wind pollinated plants such as Grasses and Pine trees don't need to attract pollinators.

The male flowers simply release the pollen on to the breeze on a "hit or miss" basis.

If some flowers are not pollinated by insects but by wind Do you think such flowers are as attractive as insect-pollinated ones?

Wind-pollinated flowers tend to be less showy and colorful compared to insect-pollinated flowers which are often brightly colored and fragrant to attract insects. However, the structure of wind-pollinated flowers is specialized for efficient wind dispersal of pollen, which is important for their reproduction. So, while they may not be as visually attractive to us, they are still well-adapted for their method of pollination.
