Question

Why are the day blooming flowers usually bright coloured whereas the night blooming flowers are strongly scented

Answer 1

1 - less intense light - the best a plant can hope for is a full moon on a clear night, so to be seen they need to reflect the maximim amount of light as they can, and white does that better than any other color; in low light, reds and oranges don't look all that colorful (they appear brownish), pale blues and whites will stand out better 2 - night-blooming plants usually rely on scent to attract pollinators - scent travels farther that all but the brightest reflected light These two attractants (white color and scent) are the result of thousands of years of coevolution. If a plant that bllomed at night couldn't attract a pollinator, then it wouldn't have produced seeds and would have eventually died out. At the same time, insects, bats, or other night animals had to recognize that the plants might provide a food source, and had vision developed to see the flowers that reflected the light, or they wouldn't have visited the plants in the first place.

Answer 2

the day blooming flower are usually bright colour so the insect get attracted due to their colour and has the flower in pollination wheels the night blooming flower are strongly scented the insects to get attracted and pollinated flower
