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.
