can you ever sniff off the smell of a flower?

No.  Not really.\n\nThe scent molecules emit from the flower every second, whether you are sniffing them or not.  Sniffing will keep the air circulating, which will bring them off faster, but the difference will probably be minimal.

d's has it, but is missing a couple of things:\n\n1.  Some insect-pollinated flowers have a sugary liquid ("nectar") that insects eat or collect.\n\n2.  Some insect-pollinated flowers have a distinctive scent.  This odor will let the appropriate insects know that the flower is open (and ready for collecting of pollen or nectar).

YES DO IT RIGHT NOW, and then fart in a bottle and recap it quickly, as to trap the smell, then say "Hey sis, could ya smell this for me"?

I try to "Stop and Smell the Flowers" every chance I get. Even in the winter on the coldest days, you can still smell the pines, especially when it snows for some reason. I have never quite understood why. I have plants around my house and even when they are not in bloom they have an aroma. I love the smell of tomato leaves.

not if its something nasty like dirty feet or crap...  but  something like cinnamon rolls baking is too powerful to consume the smell alone too\nso..\n\nNo, you can't hog smells all to yourself.

Not only the colors and scents, but some flowers emmit "smell alike" pheramones to attract certain sex of insects.\nIn addition, its also been found that not only the color of the flower attracts the insects, but also the ultraviolet radiation that certain flowers colors give off. Certain flowers colors give off colors that only the insect can see, almost like looking at a 1960's poster under a black light. They see certain colors or patterns and go for the flower.
