Can you explain to me why the author mixed stars with flowers and herbs in constellations as if they were the same thing?

In the detail that you posted, flowers and stars are not mixed as though they are the same thing. I think that might be a misinterpretation of their intention.

What the weavers did is show that Ursa Minor (the constellation) is based on the animal (the "little" bear) that lives among the flowers. They added the pattern of stars on is body to remind us that it's also a constellation. It's a mnemonic.
