It sits outside the most-frequent rank tiers, which is often why uncommon words generate more spelling variants per reader. Wiktionary records 3 distinct senses for this headword, so context determines which meaning a reader should apply.

Etymologically, the entry records: From the similarity to flower petals, popularized by American esoteric researcher Drunvalo Melchizedek. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is flower of life, spelled F-L-O-W-E-R- -O-F- -L-I-F-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
