Why are humans attracted to the sight and smell of flowers?

Flowers co-evolved with their pollinators: that is why they find flowers attractive. This arrangement works to the benefit of both parties, so do humans get any similar benefits from liking flowers? The plants do, in that gardeners propagate them.

Come to think of it, are other mammals attracted to flowers?
