Answer 1

Given the characteristics you've described—the bright red, tube-shaped flowers and the presence of nectar—the most likely pollinator for this plant is **a hummingbird**. Hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers and are capable of accessing nectar from tubular shapes, making them effective pollinators for such plants.
