Flower Color Is Not Pollen Color
A flower's petals can be a very different color from its pollen. Purple, blue, white, and red flowers may still produce yellow, cream, orange, or darker pollen.
For identification, compare the visible flower, plant type, bloom period, and pollen tone rather than relying on any one color cue.
