Flower scans look exactly like photographs and are normally printed by the same process by photo labs, although there are some intriguing variations. You frame them for hanging on a wall as usual. The only difference is in the process of obtaining the image - the pictures are not photographed with a camera, but scanned, using high resolution scanner.
Visually, the major difference comes from non-centered focus. In normal photography, the focus is always sharpest in the center of the image and more blurred at the edges. Even manipulated artistically, the relation of center and edges is sustained.
On a scanner, objects become more/less focused in several places, depending upon their proximity to the glass. Additionally, there is no visual distance between the viewer and the subject. Images look as if you could touch the flowers.
A note on photographs:
One important tip for preserving printed digital photos is to store them in an album. Storing them in such a way helps to preserve them and make them less susceptible to fading. Avoid those albums with plastic covers to hold each photo though.
If you display your printed photos, its good to display them in frames under glass. Try to go for anti-UV glass and also, don't expose the photos to open air. This helps to preserve the photos for a long time.
Printed digital photos, if kept exposed to sunlight and humid air, will necessarily fade out due to chemical reactions. Keep those photos away from the attic and heater areas and you'll be safe.
