It doesn't. People keep getting fooled by Lavas when doing Earth+Flower. The Tree+Flower pairing is very specific, and given the Sakura's design and origin, it makes sense. The Sakura dragon is based on sakura/cherry blossom trees, which are in bloom around this time of year. So the Tree+Flower pair quite literally represents a flowering tree.

It's quite interesting, really.
