Flower shops show up pretty often in BL though, so it makes me curious whether the fanfic trope stemmed (pun unintended) from that, or whether it sprung up (not doing this on purpose I swear) organically (...) from some other source? It seems as though it shows up in Western based fandoms even more than it does in animanga ones.

??? I consider myself reasonably well-versed in BL and I can't think of a single instance of flower shops in any of the series I've read...

Are you sure you're not thinking of Weiss or something?

I can't remember them all off the cuff, but just recently I remember Mankai Darling and Koi made Hyakurin are centred around florists (and the same characters feature in their prequels/sequels/spinoffs etc). I know there are others I've read recently but I've forgotten the title (I can think of a couple that have the flower shop guy as the sadistic seme type, which kind of turns the 'cute flower shop guy' thing on its head).

And that's without all the oneshots whose titles I've forgotten.

I'm talking about actual yaoi/BL manga though, not mainstream series' like WK.
