How can we replace the noun flores with a pronoun in this sentence: Me gustan las flores en el parque. Do we use object or subject pronouns?

I am not sure I have ever heard a pronoum used in this way but if it were, it would be 'ellas', a subject pronoun. The key to understanding gustar and words like gustar is the thing doing the action, in this case the flowers are doing the action, pleasing, is or are the subject of the sentence. The person saying that they are being pleased (me) is the indirect object.

I woud say Me gustan ellas. This assume that las flores are mentioned in a previous sentence.
