Conifer seeds are produced in tiny scale-like things called seed cones or ovulate cones. These are completely different from the yellow, wormlike, pollen-producing cones you shook next to your car. At pollination time, seed cones are so small and inconspicuous that most people never notice them.
Pollen is the male sperm producing gametophyte of a plant. A pollen grain contains both non-reproductive cells, known as vegetative cells, and a reproductive or generative cell. In flowering plants, pollen is produced in the anther of the flower stamen. In conifers, pollen is produced in the pollen cone.
