What are flower pollens?

Flower pollens are a huge number of microscopic small globules, which can be found in the dustbags of the blossom. They represent the male seeds of these blossoms..

What do flower pollens look like?
  Flower pollens come in various shapes and sizes. There are spherical, oval, angular and pyramid-shaped pollen bodies. To differentiate of the variform forms and colours, the pollens are magnified using a microscope. The single pollen grain is so tiny and yet the total number is so tremendously large. For example, a dandelion blossom has got up to 240,000, hazelcatkin 4 million and a corn plant even over 50 million flower pollens.
