About the flower thing and the silence thing.
1.) Can't be a scum tactic because of the rules of the game
2.) Silencing is not a town ability and any town who would pick that ability for themselves should pop themselves in the head if that was the case.
3.) This says nothing about Flower's alignment in either direction. She could be town silenced by scum (likely someone who has a grudge against her lol) or She could be a scum silenced by another one in the game, who also likely has a grudge against her
