A species of flowering plant produces vibrant blue flowers. The flowers attract both pollinators that spread the plant's pollen and herbivores that feed on the plant.

1. To absorb more water and nutrients
2. To attract more pollinators
3. To discourage herbivores***
4. To provide shade for the plant
