Or... you may have heard of those orchids in Britain with flowers that mimic female bees, thus deceptively luring in drone bees as pollinators? Well, suppose the bioluminescence in our hypothetical plant was confined to the flowers, which bloom at night; then, if it flashed on and off in a pattern like that of a female firefly, the plant could achieve pollination by male fireflies.
