More likely: Google have noticed users that search for "flowers" typically go on to search for "flower delivery", and started showing them results relevant to their intent.

The Google result page for "flowers" also includes the wikipedia page for "Flower", btw.

Father? It's the second item on the list for me (and I use incognito)

In incognito mode, it is 16th down the list for me, including ads and local results. Do you have an adblocker turned on or something?
