Colorful flowers attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. The pollinators carry pollen from plant to plant, allowing them to be fertilized.

While some flowers seem very plain and unappealing to humans they may have markers on the petals that reflect ultraviolet or infra red light which may be more visible to insects and birds.

Other flowers produce a "reward" to pollinators in the form of nectar.

Some flowers are shaped specifically to take advantage of specific insect or animal pollinators; flowers with extremely long tubular-shapes are normally pollinated by butterflies or moths as they are the only insects that have mouth parts long enough to reach the nectar glands at the base of the flower. Other plants such as "carrion flowers" produce the smell of rotting flesh to attract insects such as carrion flies and beetles to assist with pollination.

Once fertilized, the plant can produce seed and/ or fruit which are then distributed to produce more plants.

Flowers are sexual structures. Their purpose is to attract pollinators to the plant and guide these pollinators to the nectaries of the plant while at the same time ensuring that as the pollinator arrives any pollen brought by the pollinator is placed on the stamen and before it leaves it is dusted with new pollen from the flower. The flower ensures the plants ovules get fertilized so that the plant can make seeds so that it can reproduce itself.

The flower reproduces, (makes more of its own kind) and we're all greatful to have flowers. This is because we have the bees, and the bees make honey. Its all in a Life Circle. :) Hope this helped everyone.
