by doing those things, This lady is attempting to use the Norm of reciprocity to get your money.

Norm of reciprocity gives off a pressure to someone to give something back to a person if they felt that person has given something to them. In this case, the small flower that the lady gave to you is a tool to gain your reciprocity.
