Plants flower for one simple reason: pollination.

The bright coloured flowers and the scent attracts insects towards them. While the insect is sucking the nectar, the pollen grains get attached to its hairy skin. Then this insect visits another flower and the pollen grains might get deposited on the stigma. There you go, the flower has been fertilized and very soon, it wil become a fruit.
