Without pollinators, such as wind, bees and birds, would flowering wild & garden plants simply not flower?

1. They flower like usual but wouldn't produce seeds or fruit. If you want apples or cherries you'd not get any.
2. There are many pollinators - plants must have pollination to reproduce - otherwise flowers will not set fruit and thus seed. If all the pollinators were wiped off the face of the Earth in a very fast doomsday scenario (too much toxic sprays?) man would be in dire straits too as our food supplies rely on pollinators. But according to Darwinian theory, plants might (given enough time) evolve other strategies for pollination - I'm doubtful but I guess we must recognise that all current natural world status is the result of evolved strategies - I am hoping MAN lacks the power to destroy his world - he may destroy himself but let's hope the world can survive his ignorance?!
