They depend on birds, bees or insects to spread their pollen to another orchid flower. Such plants produce a smell that attracts pollinators not normally attracted to them. Other orchids trick male flies by making themselves look like female flies.

Not sure about the answers but maybe the scent of the flower the colour of the petals and the nectar produced
