unpollinated

Awaiting botanical fertilization

Unpollinated describes a flower or plant that has not received pollen, meaning fertilization cannot occur and seeds will not develop.

A flower may remain unpollinated if pollinators like bees are scarce or if conditions prevent pollen transfer: The unpollinated blossoms withered without producing fruit.
