‘Flowery language’ (no ‘the’) is a very elaborate, ornate, and often poetic/literary way of speaking or writing.
It is the opposite of plain, simple language.
If a speech or writing style is flowery, it uses too many complicated words or phrases in an attempt to sound skilful.

You could have found it yourself with a dictionary. See definition 3 here:

As use of the term has negative connotations more often than not (except within the field of poetry and some literature), I really wouldn’t want people to think this is how writing ought to be.

Here, courtesy of an Oxford Thesaurus and the Plain English Society are some [color=violet]examples of over-complicated flowery language, followed by [color=green]more streamlined straightforward versions:
