process of pollination

first, the male anther opens, lots and lots of polle grains will float in the air. Sometimes, agents that helps the plant transfer the pollen grains will then carry the pollen grains to another flower (by accident). this is called cross-pollination.

there is another kind of pollination process: self polliination when the anther opens, the pollen grains will just fall into the stigma of the same plant.
