This may already have been answered, but the Lord 4.07 whatsnew.txt file
says that the blink codes were removed from the Flower Garden, so that they
were uniform with other in-game chat areas.  Plus Michael's entry says
"Its annoying when flowers screw up the screen and prevent the
conversation from being displayed." 

So I guess he figured it was best to just dis-allow use of blinking codes. 
Personally, I could never stand them many years ago when playing LORd on
the local boards.  So I don't miss them at all myself. Donald.
