pollinated

Received flower pollen

Pollinated describes a flower or plant that has received pollen, enabling fertilization and seed production.

Bees, butterflies, wind, and other agents transfer pollen from one flower to another: The apple trees were pollinated by wild bees.

Cross-pollinated plants receive pollen from a different plant; self-pollinated ones fertilize themselves.
