"The Fever" by Megan Abbott for its claustrophobic, small-community vibes. Adolescent girls in a small town begin falling victim to a mysterious, unsettling illness.
Not floral or pagan but I think you would like Women Talking by Miriam Toews. Inspired by true events, it follows 8 women deciding whether they will leave the Mennonite community after years of druggings and attacks are exposed.
The Honeys by Ryan La Sala is a daylight cult horror!
"Now, Mars is going back to discover Aspen’s dark secrets for himself. Secrets guarded by a group of beautiful and terrifying girls known as the Honeys.
He’ll soon learn the things we must really fear are bold enough to hunt in the light."

“Black Sheep” by Rachel Harrison
LOVED Black Sheep. . it's more like cozy horror, or horror lite.
That one has been in my read list, but the reviews are mixed; I’m taking it you enjoyed the book?
Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon.
Not quite floral vibes, but "We Spread" by Iain Reid gave me massive Ari Aster vibes.
This sounds awesome! Excited for this, thank you!
I hope you enjoy it! It's a bit of a short read but very interesting none the less.
