What are Pollen Grains?
Spring is a time of new growth and fresh beginnings. Days get longer, the sun gets warmer, and flowers bloom in a magnificent show of color. And as a result of these lovely blossoms everywhere, many of us find ourselves in sneezing fits. In order for flowers to propagate every year, they must be pollinated. And pollination sends millions of tiny pollen grains through the air, many of which end up in our nose.
But pollen does not exist simply to make us miserable. Pollen grains represent the male portion of the reproductive process in plants and trees.
