The plants with some red leaves are growing better. The ants are highly protective of their mound. The bees and butterflies seem fairly picky about which flowers they drink from.

If a plants leaf is red than it will absorb green light better than a leaf that is green because, color is an indication of what kind of light it reflects, and therefore will have an effect on photosynthesis.

If nectar is put on a flower via human interference then it will attract more pollinators because they are attracted to the nectar.
