At the moment all you can do with flowers is plant them out and after a few days they just disappear.  That seems such a waste, especially since there's no real reason why they should.  You can cut roses off your rosebush to take indoors without cutting/killing the whole thing.  Also, the lifespan is absurdly short. 

What I'd like to suggest is that flowers could be cut like trees, so they grow again afterwards, and the flowers used as some form of decoration.  Flower arranging could be a nice form of joy activity or could be an Artistic endeavour like sculpting.  The arrangements could be used as decorations like sculptures but work like passive coolers in that they need replacing every so often or maybe 'refuelling' with fresh flowers.  Cut flowers could be stored but obviously would not keep for very long.  AS for defining as a job, cutting flowers would make sense to be a Growing/Plant Cutting job and the arranging sounds like Artistic work, to make an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, but perhaps accounting for Growing skill somehow. 

Just a thought but I'd love more to do with flowers than just have them grow and then die.

You did notice the Plant Pot Furniture ?

It has a own beauty and quality value like all your furniture and your growers plant and replant flowers for beauty there.
