Wireless sensor network is built of several sensor nodes and a base station, where each sensor node connected to the base station. The main demanding task in this network is lifetime and energy consumption. . The cluster based routing protocols are most accepted to improve the network lifetime and to lessen the energy consumption of wireless sensor network. This paper presents the flower pollination optimization algorithm also called OLEACH-C to improve the performance of LEACH-C protocol. The FPO algorithm used for clustering in WSN. In FPO algorithm CH will be selected on the bases of remaining energy and distance of the node. If two nodes have the same residual energy then CH will be selected on the bases of distance. The node having minimum distance will be selected as a CH. The Simulations results show that the OLEACH-C protocol selects the best CHs that assurance a routing optimization with the minimum energy consumption and minimum communication links` cost between nodes within each cluster and other energy efficient communication protocols for WSN routing protocol improve the energy consumption and network lifetimes.
