I look at a flower and I know what I see, including that its color is different for the bee which is who the flower wants to please most for reproduction.

The bee sees in a higher blue ultra violet spectrum than I do.

Next the most pleasing aroma is an ability that the flower needs for even more rewarding qualities appreciated by more than just bees.

For reasons the flower does not understand it will self select evolutionary changes based on the success of the flower based upon its habitat. This is a form of species differentiation.

Flower consciousness may effect its own evolution but not in the way we can think about this. Consciousness is from the inside out and the outside in. Not from the God perspective in.
