If removing flowers: Keep a trashcan and a DIY bench by you as you go along with a pile of customization kits. Customize your shovel every inventory full of flowers you dump.
Moving flowers: same deal without the trashcan and customize every inventory full moved.
This will reset the durability of your shovel. You can also keep them from spreading too much with a transparent path.
That's where the paths come in. You can stop them from spreading while you work. I'm undergoing a massive remodel project on my island and some kind soul explained how to keep my flowers under control.I've been trying my best to dothat but decorating my island is much more fun than cleaning flowers up so I usually get pulled away from it.

Here's me not quite a month ago with all the extra flowers I was collecting and subsequently moved to the beach:

The purple roses and the hyacinths were especially taking over. I eventually decided to just sell all the ones I thought would be low demand to the Nooklings (most of the orange flowers) and try to give away the better ones.
My work is not quite done - I have a few more batches of pink and blue hyacinths to give away (pm me if you're interested lol) - but at least the rain is! Pruning my island daily has helped me control the population for the most part.
The rain has brought too much bounty to my island and now I'm left with this. I think the cleanup is going to take a while.
I've had the exact same problem, I tried giving away all my flowers and hybrids here on TBT and nobody was interested in coming over and taking them. Right now my town looks like a mess cause I don't have the energy to come dig up a million flowers. If you know anyone who also plays maybe invite them over to take whichever flowers they'd like
