I sort of meant it more as a joke.
But what I was telling to portray, is that there are an infinite number of 'parameters', if you will, that a flower contains. And sure, mathematics can describe each of those parameters. But we will never be able to quantify it completely, as there are an infinite number of ways to relate flowers existence, and to any and every other 'thing' in the universe. Even if the mathematics is still there as the underlying building block.
Just like I can language to 'invent' or 'discover' a new sentence in order to describe anything and everything. But I won't be able to describe it completely, as there are an infinite number of ways to describe something.
