my friends mum always apologises when she picks flowers, she said she feels bad if she doesn't, it's rude.

Pain results from a series of exchanges among three major parts of your nervous system:
Your peripheral nerves. These nerves extend from your spinal cord to your skin, muscles, bones, joints and internal organs.
Your spinal cord. The nerve fibers that transmit pain messages
Your brain, which can respond to pain by sending messages to the spinal cord that modulate the incoming pain signals.
Plants like any organism, are able to respond to outer stimuli but don't feel pain the same way we do. They don't have the same type of nervous system as animals so they interpret 'pain' very differently.

The concept of feeling "pain" requires consciousness, of which plants are biologically incapable of.

i don't wonder. They already proved that plants have feelings and can sense ours in the either late seventies or early eighties.
