Answer

Ammonia diffuses readily through air and water, and since the petals of flowers are usually permeable to air and water, one can hypothesize that the ammonia can diffuse into the flower. Since ammonia is a base, its chemical pH reaction with the flower pigments could potentially cause flower color changes.
