@potatoe4life Van Helsing didn't actually warn her about the importance of the flowers. He may have mentioned in passing that they would make her feel better, but conventional wisdom would say that fresh air on this warm, late summer night would do her good. She didn't know about Dracula, so why wouldn't she open the windows? The flowers smelled bad, so why wouldn't she move them? Van Helsing probably did right in not telling her, since she would've likely thrown him out if he claimed the illness was caused by magic.
