Flour and flower were the same word until 1830...today they are pronounced the same way because of this. Look at the etymology of the word flour.

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=flour&allowed_in_frame=0

flour (n.) Look up flour at Dictionary.com
early 13c., flur "flower" (see flower); meaning "finer portion of ground grain" is mid-13c., from the notion of flour as the "finest part" of meal (cf. Fr. fleur de farine), as distinguished from the coarser parts (meal). Spelled flower until flour became the accepted form c.1830 to end confusion.
