Flowers, North Carolina

Flowers is an unincorporated community in Johnston County, North Carolina, United States, west of Jordan, east of Clayton, and southeast of Archer Lodge.

[1] It is named for famed bootlegger and land owner Percy Flowers, who owned much of the property in the area.

Prior to Flowers, the land was part of the Pineville plantation owned by Josiah Ogden Watson, a slaveholding physician who served in the War of 1812 and under Andrew Jackson at the defeat of Creek warriors at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

Some of the former landowners and enslaved people held on the old plantation are buried in a small cemetery just north of the crossroads.
