That red is not a color that the insects in question see is a reason why bees do not pollinate red gumamela flowers. The non-woody plant in question (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) may sport orange, red or rose-white flowers. The bright colors and the long tubes tend to be perfect for hummingbirds, whose priority color is red.
