* SurpriseIncest: [[spoiler:Inverted. We're led to believe George and Abigail are father and daughter, which makes the fact that they have sex in the sauna a straight example. However, they're actually in a bizarre, possessive relationship.]]

''Flowers'' is a Creator/Channel4 DarkComedy {{Drama}} show about the Flowers, an anti-social family living somewhere in rural England called Heathen's Wood and just being weird. They are the overbearing but still somehow wet cloth of a mother Deborah (Creator/OliviaColman), depressed and bored father Maurice (Julian Barratt), adult twins the slightly-satanic Amy (Creator/SophiaDiMartino) and mad-inventor Donald (Creator/DanielRigby) who have had to grow up in this mess, still live at home and are seen barely functioning outside as Donald tries to woo neighbour Abigail (Creator/GeorginaCampbell) and Amy barely leaves her room, instead writing creepy songs (and more successfully wooing Abigail).

* GadgeteerGenius: Donald tries to be one of these, though initially it seems like a cover story to get Abigail to like him because his "design" is a scribbled-in circle, though he does invent a mobile vacuum cleaner (a dust bunny attached to a toy car, basically a handheld vacuum cleaner with wheels that has less functionality than [[AluminiumChristmasTrees some real, albeit American, things]], like roombas). He also has the "ubercaf", which he claims can brew coffee eight times as strong as regular machines using half the beans, and with the thick, dark, brew that comes out he's probably right.

* BisexualLoveTriangle: [[spoiler:Amy is attracted to Abigail in Season 1, who's with George, though she also finds Any attractive. Donald meanwhile also wants Abigail. She never ends up with either however.]]

* QuirkyHousehold: The main group and setting of the show is a dysfunctional family who all have different issues, and Shun, their Japanese guest who also has some himself.

* MayDecemberRomance: Hilda, Amy's girlfriend at the start of series 2, is quite an aged priest, though she's supposedly pretty badass, too. The actresses age gap was thirty three years.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Donald to Abigail. Not only is he pretty weird around her and comes on super strong, [[IncompatibleOrientation Abigail already likes Amy]].

* ButchLesbian: [[spoiler:Amy's girlfriend in series 2.]]

* MadwomanInTheAttic: Invoked but not ultimately done, as the show references it with Amy, who is mad, living in the attic, but she's not looked up, possibly the most reasonable in the family, and obviously she lives there out of choice and possibly practicality.
* MayDecemberRomance: Hilda, Amy's girlfriend at the start of series 2, is quite an aged priest. Though she's supposedly pretty badass, too.

* QuirkyHousehold: The main group and setting of the show.

* TokenMinority: Shun, a young Japanese man now working for Mr Flowers.
* TwoferTokenMinority: Abigail is a young black woman whom the Flowers family meets. She's apparently bisexual as well, being involved with a man but returning Amy's affection too.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Amy has at least some high functioning mental illness, indicated through series 1. In series 2 it may have developed into being much more serious, or just remained the same but paired with deep innocent delusion (that could itself be a symptom of a mental deficiency caused by being so sheltered).
