I think you're missing his point greatly.
He's dying, not suicidal. So it has changed his view points, taken the joy out of things he used to once find them in, but now focusing on simple things and finding joy in them.
The irony of flowers, for a dying person, as I see it, is you watch something bloom, grow, flourish, nurture it, then watch it die.
I think in a way, it would give some peace and speak to one about the nature of things.
Life is momentary.
