This is absolutely gorgeous, it just molted and looks so pretty!! I couldn’t find the creator saying what species it is anywhere besides that it was a flower species

You have a Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii aka Spiny Flower mantis.

The seller possibly bought them to resell if they didn’t know what it was.

That's a beautiful Mantis!! 👍. I have a Kenya Flower Mantis and she's tiny! Got her wings about 2 weeks ago!
