Flowers, for example, might be shaped to increase and direct wind speed - one of the primary pollen vectors. Many are coloured and shaped to attract birds and insects - the other main vectors. They don%26#039;t CREATE the wind or insects, but they facilitate the relationship with them.
Still, any plant without flowers has to either probably alter itself in its entirety to experience those more beneficial relationships or do without them altogether. Which explains why flowering plants are so much more successful except in environments where those environmental factors don%26#039;t much come into play overall.
