Generally, insects search for nectar in flowers with the smell of good scent.
So, in the given scenario, insects are not the pollinators.
Best choice is the 'Humming bird', that acts as the co-evolved pollinator.
Flowers of genus fuchsia with bright colors like pink and red attracts the humming bird even from a distance. Strong scent is not essential for the humming bird.
The long floral tubes that hold more amount of nectar is a attractive feature for humming birds.
It is essential that the flowers hang down loosely (dangle) in the plant, so that humming bird can insert its beak into it.
