The reflected light rays from the flower arrive at our eyes where they fall on the retinas leading to impulses that travel down the optic nerves to the brain where electric currents are produced that give rise to our seeing colour.

The flower does not in itself possess colour but just has a certain characteristic physical and chemical composition that produces the colour we see.
