It depends upon the flower. Some flowers are beautiful to attract insects or birds. Some flowers look like the mate of the insect that pollinates them. Some flowers have pretty colors to guide the insects to where the nectar is, kind of like a person waving flags on a runway for planes. The insects are looking for nectar and the plant wants to be pollinated. so it puts the pollen very close to the nectar so the insect gets pollen on it while gathering the nectar. The nectar is the insect's reward for picking up the pollen. Then when it flies to another plant, it pollinates it while getting more nectar. But the flowers have designed themselves to either trick the insect or to invite the insect to it.
