Sorry, Robin, the flowers are pretty inconspicuous.  Alternatively, you
might let it grow and then graft some "good wood" onto it when it is a bit
larger.  Do you know anyone locally who might have a good avocado who could
give you some wood?  If you want to know more about grafting avocados,
there is a really good website with photos and everything:

Good luck!

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
