On the other hand, today I looked at it and now it looks like a happy duck with closed eyes and tears of happiness (⁀ᗢ⁀)...
...I guess duck killed somebody, violently, and is happy now.
it is! this orchid flower doesn't look always exactly like this one, but often very close . The strategy is, as everyone can guess, to imitate the bee. The metaphysic question is how the hell the flower managed to look like so close from her pollinator, as if she had ability to see and to copy the bee. When you see it for real, you really think it's a bee on a flower and not just a flower
Your hypothesis is maybe right, dunno really. The strategy is to imitate the female bee to attract males. The flower in addition to the female bee apparence can also produce the female smelling
My favorite plant? That's a tough one - how would you compare an oak tree with a flowering plant and pick a favorite? Let me just link some interesting local flower instead. Here you go: cichorium intybus ( common chicory ) grows over here in Germany, usually on dry terrain or gravel on the side of the road (that's why it's commonly known as "Wegwarte" in German, which would roughly translate as "waiting on the way"). Sometimes you find whole areas of blue abundance in early summer, which really looks nice.
Lies! It's an evil yellow rubber duck with mohawk on top of a horned helmet, with hairy chest and a strange Rorschach t-shirt.

Looks more like a Pokemon to me. :-D
But yea, trial & error I guess.
But wouldn't a fake bee scare away other insects? I would have guessed that is not beneficial.
