A "kind" iof animal, is whatever can breed with it. Canines can breed with canines, felines with felines etc... Felines can't breed with canines. Sothey are different "kinds" of animals.
Flowering plants may have been deposited all over the globe, but obviously couldn't survive in certain climates and died off except where the climate was hospitable.
Next question...

Re: easy
You know... These are age old stories, obviously there are going to be problems with them. I don't think the Noah story can be literally true according to our understanding of it, but is that more important than the general idea, that the world was destroyed but a remnant saved to repopulate it?...

Dating and Flowers
Sorry for misunderstanding the question. Again, I am not here to defend the flood as a certainty the way that we understand it. clearly it comes down from the epic of Gilgamesh and probably earlier stories. The stories meaning is that the world has been destroyed because it was evil, and a remnant was saved to repopulate it.
That I can believe. There are many philosophies that say that the earth has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. If I were to discover that there was no Noah, it would have no affect on my beliefs. There are just as many problems with the story of Adam and Eve or Cain and Able... but these are the oldest stories on earth. I think we need to concentrate on the gist of them, not the details.
