It's possible that you have a very old version of Flowers then, probably as a result of me linking to an outdated one from the Unified Dyes page. The reason you couldn't dig them is probably due to the digging groups change, which the old flowers mod hasn't been updated separately to handle. I use the version of flowers found in Nature Pack, and there the flowers spawn regularly, and are all easily collected.
To get a wad of raw cotton, collect a cotton flower and place it in the crafting grid.
It's best if you just get a current release of Nature Pack or Nature Pack Controlled and use the flowers mod therein. The latter also comes with my Jungle Grass mod.
Now as for farming them, the only thing I can say that should definitely be the case is that seeds for flowers should come only from other flowers (including the ones spawned randomly by the flowers mod). Don't get them from some other random source, that'll just lead to confusion. This would probably require a new release of the flowers mod such that each gives up to 2 seeds when collected (I'd say a 20% chance of no seeds, 20% chance of 1 seed, and a 60% chance of 2 seeds). That way one can expand their flower garden at a somewhat realistic rate.
