One feature of a flower that is trying to attract the hummingbird moth as a pollinator is the shape of its petals. Flowers that want to attract hummingbird moths often have long, tubular or funnel-shaped petals. These shapes are similar to the flowers that hummingbirds are attracted to. The long and narrow shape of the petals allows the moth to insert its long proboscis to access the nectar inside the flower, making it easier for them to feed on the flower's nectar.
