Flower such as the "Sarracenia" or lady-slipper orchids, have elaborate designs to ensure pollination while preventing self-pollination. "Anemophilous": flowers use the wind to move pollen from one flower to the next, examples include the grasses, Birch trees, Ragweed and Maples. They have no need to attract pollinators and therefore tend not to grow large blossoms. Whereas the pollen of entomophilous flowers tends to be large-grained, sticky, and rich in protein (another "reward" for pollinators), anemophilous flower pollen is usually small-grained, very light, and of little nutritional value to insects, though it may still be gathered in times of dearth.

Glass Slipper (dragster) Glass Slipper (dragster) Glass Slipper is a pioneering streamliner dragster. Making her debut in 1957, "Glass Slipper" was created by Califironia drag racers Roy and Ed Cortopassi. The workmanship was so good, she won "America's Most Beautiful Competition Car" at the 1957 Oakland Roadster Show. "Glass Slipper" was a short-wheelbase front-engined digger with front hairpins, lakester-style wheel discs (Moon discs), covered frame rails, a closed cockpit, and exposed exhaust pipes, bearing a strong resemblance to a sprint car. She wore the livery of Capitol Speed Shop. She was powered by an injected small-block Chevy, distinguishing her from her blown contemporaries.
