The original phrase quoted, as I recall, was "flower of canel". I agree
that canel is cinnamon. However, though "flower" might be a homonym
for "flour", it could also mean "flower" in the sense of the finest or best;
ex., "the flower of chivalry". Of course, if the latter meaning is intended,
that still does not preclude it from being the finest *ground* cinnamon.
