I'm deciding on colleges and I don’t know what I’m supposed to major in to own a flower shop. I'm not an idiot, but I do need help.

Probably something like Botany or Horticulture.
Please keep in mind that Horticulture does not include the study of whores but it really depends on what university you get into.

You need:
-business. Understand accounting, retailing, marketing. This can be done at most any college.
-some horticulture (but you don't need to know the more scientific aspects of how plants grow). Steer clear of botany, IMHO.
-college flower arrangement program. I have no idea which colleges do this, but this is a pretty important skill.
If I had to suggest a particular school, it'd be Niagara College. I'm sure you have plenty of other good options.
My advice beyond that is to work in a flower shop during/after you get your training. This will help you to familiarize yourself with the different varieties, and get a better sense of what kind of business you'd like to start.
