I really like this kit. Chiharu's abilities look novel and fun, and her kit works well with itself. I think she might end up working better as a marksman, rather than an AP assassin, with a bit more range, as it looks like most of her damage output is crit-based. There are also a few effects I'd personally streamline, namely on her Q.
 * Plant Life looks great, for the most part: the Primrose object offers a lot of potential for cool tricks and mobility plays with the rest of Chiharu's kit, and the effect itself is thematic. However, the regen doesn't feel appropriate: maximum health scalings are typically for champions who are expected to build tanky, and Chiharu's meant to be squishy, and free static regen isn't the best on an assassin, mage or marksman, as those classes are typically encouraged to either roam, or at the very least return to base after taking enough hits. I'd change the effect to vision, which would give Chiharu an offensive advantage against anyone around brush, rather than a defensive one.
 * Synchronization is a fine pet description. I have a question, though: is Daisy visible through Fog of War? Stealth? Or just brush? In any of those cases, why make her visible at all times?
 * Scouting Gazer's core concept is pretty interesting. I like the idea of sending out a pet to scan targets. However, I feel the ability would only really be interesting the first time it gets used in a fight, and not while making Daisy zip to about the same spot over and over. Because of this, I think the Scan effect doesn't need to stack (and could then be adjusted around one stack), and I also think the bonus magic damage could be taken off, since the ability's power comes mainly from its crit boost. It's also this crit scaling, coupled with the ranged scanning effect, that makes me think Chiharu would be better off as a marksman.
 * Blooming Surprise is a fantastic ability. It's simple, versatile and healthy. Nothing to really criticize here.
 * Gardener's Song, by contrast, feels a bit out of place: why make Chiharu, a mobile assassin, channel for hard CC? What is the purpose of the channel, or the root? What about the persistent damage and slow?
 * Carnivorous Primrose looks very good. My only criticism here ties back to Scan stacks, but otherwise this is perfectly appropriate for an assassin ability.

I think you have a very strong kit here already. For the most part, Chiharu's abilities look unique, and her kit looks like it has enough self-synergy to allow for a ton of interesting choices, while also being healthy to play against. Again, my only major criticism here is that I think there might be a role mismatch: as a champion who's going to be spending a lot of time autoattacking for guaranteed crits, Chiharu would fit the mold of a marksman, or at the very least a light fighter, perfectly, rather than that of an AP assassin/mage.
