Genetics. Flowers are coloured to attract birds, insects or animals for pollination, nothing more. If the flower is red, it is because it attracts a particular pollinator and the successful gene has been passed down to the next generation.

It can be quite difficult to identify any kind of plant simply by the colour of it's flowers. Features that can help to narrow down the possible plants that match the one you are wanting to identify include:

  1. Number of petals (3, 4, 5, 6, 7+, tubular petals, irregular petals)
  2. Petal arrangement (single flower vs. several flowers on the stem vs. clusters/spikes of flowers)
  3. Flower width
  4. Petal and foliage colour
  5. Blooming period
  6. Plant height
  7. Leaf arrangement (alternate vs. opposite vs. whorled)
  8. Leaf edges (smooth vs. serrated vs. irregular vs. deeply cut)
  9. Leaf shape

There are a number of websites that may be helpful in identifying your particular plant (see related links).
