why wildflowers highly scented and bright colored petals?

It depends on the flower but they can attract moths, bees, beetles and bats. The reason for the scent is to attract the pollinator and the nectar is a reward for pollinating the flowers. Bee flowers are usually blue or yellow.

A strange combination of attributes, maybe a medicinal dye? I found one such through Google: rubia tinctorum also called madder. See the ref.

Any part of a plant has aromas, not just the flower, but the flower is the sexual stage of the plant and has to attract the help of the pollinators! But the most "famous and loved" aromas are found within the vacuoles within the cells of the cbeautifully olorful petals of flowering plants.  These contain the most natural aromatic floral oils (which cause the aromas) that we can smell; aromas-scented oils were basically "designed by nature" to attract the birds-bees-pollinators; fruits produce aromas-aromatic oils too.(fruits are just pregnant flowers, the "swollen" ovaries of the stigma)

Is this a serious question? And I'd like to know how enzyme304 plucks the petals off those daisies! Start by blowing some of them up, tying them together with a ribbon like a BIG bouquet, than pop them with a pin and see what you wind up with. LMAO here! Lol! I don't know! Go with the flow, be creative! It could work!

This may not relate much, but still...\n--There is this 'hydrangea shrub' found in most gardens. When it grows in alkaline soil (basic), it produces pink or white flowers. However, if the soil is treated with a mild acid, the hydrangea produces blue flowers!\n--An acidity of around 3-4 pH in water can make pickles out of all the vegetation present in the water.\n--Some organic acids are so weak that in a 1 moldm3 concentrated solution, only 4 out of every 1000 molecules ionize to produce H+ ions; the other 996 remain unchanged in the solution.\n--When you shampoo your hair, it often gets all tangled; this is because soap contains a mild base (alkali) which causes the small scales on each hair to stand out. Hair conditioners contain a mild acid which when added, neutralizes the base and closes up the scales, making your hair shiny and manageable.

Lilacs and Lillies (all types) - Lilacs because they smell so yummy and Lillies because they look so beautiful.

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.

Honey bees are attracted to plants with bright colours however they cant see red. All the bees (females  called workers) will go out and once one finds a spot with alot of flowers the bee marks that area with a scent returns to the hive to get the other bees so they dont waste time looking for flowers.

I believe a number of roses come in a red coloration.  Here's what wikipedia.org says.\n\n"There is no single system of classification for garden roses. In general, however, roses are placed in one of three main groups:\n\n    * Wild Roses - The wild roses includes the species listed above and some of their hybrids.\n    * Old Garden Roses - Most old garden roses are classified into one of the following (ordered by approximate age - oldest first):\n          o Alba - Literally "white roses", derived from R. arvensis and the closely allied R. alba. These are some of the oldest garden roses, probably brought to Britain by the Romans. Once-flowering. Examples: 'Semi-plena', 'White Rose of York'.\n          o Gallica - The Gallica roses have been developed from R. gallica which is a native of central and southern Europe. They flower once in the summer. Examples: 'Cardinal de Richelieu', 'Charles de Mills', 'Rosa Mundi' (R. gallica versicolor).\n          o Damask - Robert de Brie is given credit for bringing them from Persia to Europe sometime between 1254 and 1276. Summer Damasks (crosses between Gallica roses and R. phoenicea) bloom once in summer. Autumn Damasks (Gallicas crossed with R. moschata) bloom later, in the autumn. Examples: 'Ispahan', 'Madame Hardy'.\n          o Centifolia (or Provence) - These roses, raised in the seventeenth century in the Netherlands, are named for their "one hundred" petals. Once-flowering. Examples: 'Centifolia', 'Paul Ricault'.\n          o Moss - Closely related to the centifolias, these have a mossy excrescence on the stems and sepals. Once-flowering. Example: 'Comtesse de Murinais', 'Old Pink Moss'.\n          o China - The China roses brought with them an amazing ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the summer and into late autumn. Four china roses ('Slater's Crimson China', 1792; 'Parsons' Pink China', 1793; 'Hume's Blush China', 1809; and 'Parks' Yellow Tea Scented China', 1824) were brought to Europe in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries which brought about the creation of the repeat flowering old garden roses and later the modern garden roses. Examples: 'Old Blush China', 'Mutabilis'.\n          o Portland - These are named after the Duchess of Portland who received (from Italy in 1800) a rose then known as R. paestana or 'Scarlet Four Seasons' Rose' (now known simply as 'The Portland Rose'). This group was developed from that rose. Repeat-flowering. Example: 'James Veitch', 'Rose de Rescht', 'The Portland Rose'.\n          o Bourbon - They originated on l'Île de Bourbon (now called Réunion). Probably the result of a cross between the Autumn Damask and the 'Old Blush China'. Introduced in France in 1823. Repeat-flowering. Examples: 'Louise Odier', 'Mme. Pierre Oger', 'Zéphirine Drouhin'.\n          o Hybrid Perpetual - The dominant class of roses in Victorian England, they were derived to a great extent from the Bourbons. Repeat-flowering. Examples: 'Ferdinand Pichard', 'Reine Des Violettes'.\n          o Tea - The result of crossing two of the original China Roses ('Hume's Blush China' and 'Parks' Yellow Tea Scented China') with various Bourbons and Noisette roses. Somewhat more tender than other old garden roses (most likely because of R. gigantea in the ancestry of the Parks rose), teas are repeat-flowering roses although their fragrance is not always a tea scent. Example: 'Lady Hillingdon'.\n          o Bermuda "Mystery" Roses - A group of several dozen "found" roses that have been grown in Bermuda for at least a century. The roses have significant value and interest for those growing roses in tropical and semi-tropical regions, since they are

Chances are they have a visiual cue to the colour of the berries. Its really a co-evolutionary thing. The tree wants to spread its seeds so it signals to the bird with bright red berries for example....come and eat me. Also many birds have very acute vision.....think of vultures flying high above the plains scanning for carrion. Animal senses can be very different from ours.\nCheers.

Patchouli, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and other oils possess powers of arousal. Their fragrances produce stimulating effects on mood and psyche to create erotic sensations and awaken desire.

Probably,because it is red,red is a colour of love and it also has thorns,love hurts a lot.Also when it dies in autumn it reborns in spring and so on.
