I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done, and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you, you've patented it, and packaged it, you've slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now your selling it, you want to sell it!

Seriously Though, I wonder what impact, if any, this may have on any modern planet or animal species, after this Flower being absent for Thousands and thousands of years?

Well, if it won’t cross genetically with anything living and other specimens aren’t recovered, it’s probable it won’t have enough genetic diversity to be viable as a natural species.

What if the pollen is what killed the squirrel? OMG! Maybe it killed the Dinosaurs!

Sounds like the impact would be more squirrel food. And if they want something really old, they should try to resurrect the almost 300 million year old forest described and with neat pictures (artists imagination) in this article.
