explain the Elephant Garden Effect, with citations

what reproductive benefit, if any, does a flower derive from being attractive to a primate or elephant?

but then why do flowers seem to attract only certain non-pollinator species (primates, elephants) and not others?

in species that are attracted to flowers with no obvious utility, is the attraction a byproduct of flowers being specialized to attract pollinators (e.g. due to similarity between pollinator and other brains)?
