What it does is release a scent into the air to smell like the pheromones of a female bee, fly, wasp or whatever species of insect the orchid needs to attract. When the male insect lands on it and "mates" with what really is the flower, the pollen attaches to the insect and stays with it until it reaches the next flower.
