Explanation:
Flowers are designed to attract pollinators with their vibrant colors and alluring fragrance, and in return the pollinators feed on the flowers' nectar and pollen. Pollinators are vital to the endurance of many species of plants and animals- and that doesn't exclude people.

The peculiarities seen in flowers to attract pollinating agents is known as visual cues.
- Many flowers use visual cues to attract pollinators: showy petals and sepals, nectar guides, shape, size, and color.
- Nectar guides are patterns seen in some flowers that guide pollinators to the nectar and pollen.
- Flower shape and size provide visual clues and a structure that allows a specific, co-evolved pollinator to contact the flower's anthers and stigmas.
- Pollen must be transferred from one bloom to another in flowering plants, either inside the same plant for self-pollination or between plants of the same species for cross-pollination.
- Pollen, on the other hand, can't travel on its own, so animals or the wind (or, in rare circumstances, water) transport it for plants. Colors are used by many flowers to attract insects, which is often aided with coloured guide markings. Some feature UV markings that insects can detect but that humans can't see.
