You notice a plant in your front yard. The plant’s flowers are bright red and tube shaped. Upon closer inspection, you realize that the plant also contains nectar. What is a likely pollinator for this plant?

Answer 1

A likely pollinator for a plant with bright red, tube-shaped flowers containing nectar is a hummingbird. Hummingbirds have long beaks that can reach into the tube-shaped flowers to access the nectar. Their ability to hover and extract nectar with their specialized tongues makes them well-suited for pollinating flowers with this particular structure.
