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.
