"What's a 'flowery boundary tree'?"
"You got me."
Does the latter mean "I don't know"?
And what's a flowery boundary tree?
Thank you.

Flowery boundary tree - You didn't get me...
Itasan,
Well, you didn't get me
>"You got me."
>Does the latter mean "I don't know"?
You got me in this context means he doesn't know as you said. It is often used when somebody sets a puzzle. Please be careful with the phrase, because got is a phrasal verbs with a lot of different meanings, which can be very dependent on context.
>"What's a 'flowery boundary tree'?"
So let's break this one down...
A boundary tree - Is a tree that marks the boundary between properties
Flowery - A lot of trees have flowers growing in and around them.
A flowery boundary tree is a tree on a boundary with a lot of flowers around it. It's the kind of thing you might hear in a song or poem, which doesn't fit with the reply. So I'd imagine the context is somebody talking about a poem.
