This might just be a really stupid thing I've been thinking about, but what if Flowey's consciousness is shared with the flower itself? I know it might sound utterly stupid at first, and it might be, but it's been bothering me for a while.

Plants probably don't have a soul to begin with. Not a real soul. But after all, a plant is alive. Plant life is still life, even though it behaves much differently than we do. I suppose it doesn't make much sense when Alphys talks about giving a lifeless object the will to live, considering that a plant is already alive.

It's very possibly that plants have some other form of soul. When Asriel absorbed Chara's soul, they shared their thoughts and powers. Even though Asriel was probably more in control of the body than Chara. (Or maybe his will to not hurt was stronger.)

It might not be anything more than just a nagging voice on occassion. Maybe it's just like having a conjoined, silent twin attatched at all times. There might not even be anything at all. It's just a silly theory I put together because I was bored.
