To make us see them better.
Georgia O'Keeffe often painted large-scale flowers, which emphasized their intricate details and vibrant colors. Many of her flower paintings, such as "Black Iris" or "Calla Lily," featured blooms that appeared larger than life, sometimes measuring several feet across in her compositions. This scale choice allowed her to explore the forms and textures of flowers in an impactful way.
I assume you know what abstract means. It means having no subject. Georgia O'Keeffe painted very many close-ups of flowers. The effect was often close to abstract, but still depicting a flower in an unusual perspective. Her pictures usually have titles telling you the subject. Then they cannot be abstract. In her very young days she did paint abstract paintings, called e.g. Music Red and Blue. This means they do not depict real things.
Henri Matisse was inspired to paint flowers due to their vibrant colors and dynamic forms, which allowed him to explore his interest in color theory and composition. Flowers also represented a sense of beauty and vitality, serving as a subject that could convey emotion and enhance his expressive style. Additionally, during his later years, still life compositions featuring flowers became a way for Matisse to experiment with abstraction and balance within his work. Ultimately, flowers provided a constant source of inspiration and a means to reflect his artistic vision.

his favorite way to paint was unusually. (dsm)
One way is that bees would take pollen from nearby flowers, then drop it over other flowers.
