Flowers are really there to reproduce. Firstly is cross pollination, to do this a flower needs to grab a bees/butterflies/birds attention. First of all, colour. Bees can only see ultraviolet light, so flowers use this to their advantage, by colouring their flower in ultraviolet, this makes them stand out. Secondly the flowers shape, the petals are designed to guide the pollinator to the pollen. Sometimes pollination is not done by animals, self pollination is also common, a flower simply reproduces by itself, it does this by producing pollen and using it, however this must be triggered by movement, this is usually done by wind so the flower would need to be light and big.
