Defeating the core either breaks or interrupts the power of the red flowers/crystal. My running theory is that the red flowers are tied to Ballos' magic (and magic-derived insanity) given that they can be controlled by the crown. I suspect that the Core represses Ballos' magic, and the red flowers are formed from a bleeding of said magic, like an overflow on a dam. When the core was destroyed then the magic probably returned to Ballos' control.
