Is it flowers in particular that puzzle you? Or is it more generally the fact that humans are wired so as to find anything at all beautiful?
I suppose it would be finding beauty in things that don't seem to convey a survival advantage or that I can't personally draw a connection to something with a survival advantage. Another good example would be the beauty of rainbows.
