Why is it feminine?

Flores is feminine because it derives from Latin "flōs, flōris," which was a third-declension noun. Portuguese preserved the grammatical gender from Latin, where this word was feminine. In Portuguese, words inherited from Latin third-declension nouns ending in a sibilant sound (like the -s of flor) commonly retained their original gender, making this a regular inheritance pattern.
