Default Re: difference pronunciation between "flower" and "flour"
They are not identical.

flower:

flour:

Notice the dot (.) in flower. It has longer sound at that point which makes
the sound of flower as 2 syllables but only 1 syllable for the sound of flour.

It's like:

flower: ฟลาว-เอ้อ

flour: ฟลาอาว (ฟลา-อาว without any pause)

That's British pronounciation.
