Flowers' colours and scents are a sort of advertising, and are primarily to attract insects -- particularly bees -- to come and take nectar. In the process of doing so they will transfer pollen from one flower to the next, thus fertilizing the flower enabling it to produce seed and, where appropriate, fruit.
Without pollination there would be no next generation of flowers.

Why are flowers generally colouful and fragment?
Flowers are generally colorful and fragrant to attract bees and other insects. Since flowers must remain stationary, they depend on other means for reproduction. Bees, for example, are attracted to bright, fragrant flowers because they use their nectar to make honey. The flowers, however, need the bees for fertilization and reproduction. When a bee lands on a flower, pollen gets stuck to their legs. As the bees then fly from flower to flower, they deposit the previous flower's pollen, unknowingly fertilizing new flowers and allowing them to reproduce. By attracting more bees (by enhancing their colors and fragrance), the flowers are increasing their own survival.
