If you get some pollen onto your finger, and
look at it with your eye, you'll probably see
some tiny dots, but look at these dots with a
apple powerful microscope and you'll see that each
pollen grain is specific to the plant it comes
from.

As with everything in Nature, the closer you
look at it, the more you find.

Pollen is constructed in such a way as to be
carried easily from one plant to another.

mesquite It is useless to other plants, and only useful to
plants of the same species.
It cannot get there by itself, unless it is helped.
Vectors (carriers) of pollen include wind, water,
insects and birds

God designed 'pollen traps' to lure insects to
pollen.
He made flowers, with 'landing pad' petals, and
special colours, to guide the insects in. He also
left a gift of nectar as a reward.
But flowers are useless without insects, so God
also designed 'flying pollen carriers', and gave
them 'pollen collectors' on their legs and bodies.

The entire system of pollination is integrated,
and full of cleverly-designed machinery.

The more you look into pollen, its
shape and construction, and flowers,
and their design, and insects, with all
their design features, the more
wonderful God's wisdom is revealed.
