That's the thing about evolution. The plant doesn't have to know what a hummingbird looks like to eventually look like a hummingbird. It's the insects who shaped the plant. *They* decided which shapes to avoid, and those shapes did better and better, until the plant evolved into hummingbird shapes. Insects are like accidental gardeners.
