[OGD] Co-evolutionary pollination

[Gerald H Fisher]

If experience/observation leads us to believe "...  it seems clear that most 
orchid pollinators do not coevolve with the orchids they pollinate.." then 
what is going on?

It seems 'reasonable' to me that the more (attractive, stronger, 'you pick 
it') the blossom AND the pollinator the more likely the plant would survive. 
Not necessarly the pollinator because many of the blossoms are 'sex' objects 
and really doesn't do the next generation of pollinator a lot of good.

What am I missing?
