So, am I not human or am I not known? I do pronounce them differently. 
flower is a clear 2 syllable word whereas flour is almost a one syllable 
word for me. Subtle but definitely not identical.
Or do you mean that I pronounce the Dutch words for flower (bloem) and 
flour (bloem) the same? Because that is indeed the case.
