'ins Wasser' is the same as 'in das Wasser'. 'Gehen im' would mean that the flowers are in the water and walking there. So, grammar is fine. But none of this makes any sense...
Thank you Wataya, just tu sum up Can you use "in das" instead of "ins" if you like? or is it mandatory to unite them
you can always rewrite it if you like. Note that this is not the case for 'im'. In most cases, 'im' is the contraction of 'in'+'dem' and can be rewritten, but sometimes it's not: http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/im (see meaning 2 for some examples where 'im' can't be split).
The German sentence doesn't make much sense. (It's grammatically correct, but it literally means 'flowers walk into the water'). Maybe they meant 'Blumen gehören ins Wasser' or 'Blumen kommen ins Wasser'. No idea.
