Answer:
Unlike the typical insect-pollinated flowers, flowers adapted to pollination by wind do not produce nectar or scent. In wind-pollinated species, the microsporangia hang out of the flower, and, as the wind blows, the lightweight pollen is carried with it.

Water pollinated flowers need not produce rewards like nectar or pollen grain or some scent in order to attract the insects to the flowers. The petals can also be colourless so mostly water pollinated flowers tend o appear white.
On the other hand insect pollinated flowers require coloured petals, sticky stigma and need to produce nectar in order to reward insects. Often the flower offers some place where the insects can lay their eggs.
