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.
