Fire Flowers?
Venus Flytraps?
Deadly Nightshade?
cactus flower, preferably with the cactus still attached?
Triffids? Obscure?!
I would suggest the Rafflesia Arnoldii. Known as the Carrion Flower, due to its smell of rotting flesh, it should be perfect in instilling fear in your enemies.
It grows to 3 ft diameter and a weight up to 24 lb so it should be useful for your improvised weapon (and shield) needs.
A branch of nightshade flower.
Hemlock (does hemlock have a flower?)
Stinging nettles and thistles.
Iconically, the Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade) or Oleander would be the most well-known ones. Both are incredibly toxic and almost certainly deadly, even in relatively small applications.
Fire Flowers?
Beat me to it...

Piranha plant (mario bros reference). Just let it eat everything in reach.

I'd recommend things like Yellow Musk Creepers.

Touch question, as most common flowers are ephemeral and rather deliacte, so they tend not to need the protection and hence to be less damaging than the more permanent parts of a plant. As a biologist, here here are a few candidates off the top of my head. Google them for pictures:
If your looking for a spiny bludgeoning weapon i suggest any of the flowers in the Thistle family (try Cirsium vulgare) or a teasel (Dipsacus fullonum)
If you want a 2 handed weapon, I suggest a cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus) as the stalks can be up to 12' high and the flower heads weighing upwards of 10 pounds.
Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) grow upwards of 10' tall, and their sap causes a photo-reactive chemical burn. In other words, if you get it on your skin, you get horrid blistering burns when exposed to sunlight. The more UV rays, the worst the burn. Oh and you can't wash it off with water.
Flowers of the family Bromeliaceae are comprised of very thick pointed, sharp leaflets which can easily puncture human tissue. Think of the leafy top of a pineapple for a common member of this family.
I saved the best for last. The flower sheath of the traveler's Palm (Ravenala madagascariensis)is a hard, woody, dagger shaped sheathe that you could realistically stab someone with. Picture an 8 inch wooden spike with a groove down one side where the pollen is released.
Greatswordplant?
Greatswordplant?
Only trumped by the Falchionfern.
black lotus
Lady Banks roses. DAMIHKT but, some dominatrices use the canes in their work. The canes are long, strong and bendy. They typically do not have many thorns, but I'm almost certain you could find some that have the thorns you require.
Plus, the plant itself grows almost as fast as and is as resilient as kudzu. Which is saying something.
wouldn't any flower large enough to be similar to the weapon you want be able to do so with a permanent ironwood? (if your gm would allow it)
i like the idea of a greatclub-sunflower though
it still bugs me you cannot combine darkwood and greenwood. doesn't seem like there should be any reason to ban it. but maybe i'm just missing something.
Wow, i am truely suprised no one else is as curious as i am and this wuestion hasnt come up sooner... why?

Vine Whip and Razor Leaf worked for many plant-creatures I know...

Really, no one said Dawnflower yet? No bad jokes in here?
One of Sarenrae's titles.
I think I got it, worry not.
How about a flower-bearing tree?
Sunflowers.
Those suckers hurt when you hit someone with 'em, AND they drop food!

Which reminds me of the good ol' Pea Shooters. Perfect for Gunslingers.
There is even one for high-level!

That is heavier than the heaviest melee weapon.
Good find.
Freeze some poinsettias and throw them like shurikens.

You discovered one of the secret purposes of thread.
In Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe (Book I of the Book of the New Sun), there is a scene in which people duel with stiff, spiky, and highly poisonous flowers. Just saying. Oh, and you should definitely read that series; it's fantastic.
