"The little flowers" implies you're talking about specific little flowers of some kind. "The little flower" is the same context but implying one flower instead of multiple. "Little flowers" implies you're talking about little flowers broadly, not a specific set of little flowers. :)
"The little flowers have grown." *This implies you're saying that a specific set of flowers have grown.*
"I like little flowers."
*This implies you like little flowers broadly and NOT a specific set of flowers.*
