Why is it that almost all the questions in the science section are written as if they were asked by an 8 year old?
"does all flowers make pollens?" NO NO NO NO NO.
DO all flowers make POLLEN? That is a question. What you said is just nonsense.
The answer to the real question -- No, some flowers have seperate male and female flowers, and only male flowers have pollen. All flowering plants make pollen, and most flowers make pollen - but not all of them.

Some kinds of flowering plants have separate male and female plants. For example, there are male and female holly bushes. The male holly plants have flowers that only make pollen. The female holly plants have flowers that have pistils, but no stamens to make pollen.
There are actually quite a few plants that are like this.
Another common example is corn: the tassel at the top contains the male flowers that have the stamens to make pollen. The place where the ears will develop has the female flowers. The corn silks are the very long stigmas extending from the pistils - one for each possible kernel of corn on the ear.

Yes, if they have a viable androecium(i.e., aren't sterile).
