It seems odd to talk about flowers ... in black and white (!) but you can be sure that this particular photographic subject is not a new one because, almost two centuries ago, flowers and other vegetal were ones of the first documented by photographers.
Even it appears more challenging to take black and white pictures of flowers, it happens that in several occasion, the subject rendering seems to be more appealing and informative then its usual color representation, a phenomenon that many black and white predominant photographers have experimented over time.
The different gray tonal areas of flowers are rich and often very distinctive each from another. The blend of colors that often have the tendency to melt the flower rendering disappears in favor of various gray picture zones creating an interesting tridimensional effect.
Every flower may ask a specific approach in terms of angle, of composition, of light, of contrast, of surrounding back and foreground, etc. The word "study" is rightly defining the photo experience with the flower subjects. And black and white picture bias is simply adding a lot to the emotive impact of it.
