Carnivorous plants need to attract insects to feed AND to reproduce. Of course they don’t want to eat the pollinators so they usually have flowers with long stems
sundews too, and sarrencenia, aquatic plants. also we found out some pitchers attract mammals for thier nutrient rich poop"poop in thier pitchers" to get all that nitrogen.
Because the flowers attract food in the form of insects. I must be missing something here.

Yep! The pitcher plants around here have high flowers and Venus Fly Traps have hilariously high flowers.

Pitcher plants and flytraps use sugary secretions to attract prey not flowers.
Why would they want to attract flowers?
Because they’re pretty, duh
Both use flowers with long stems to keep the pollinators out of harm’s way. I grow both, seen it IRL.
