How does fragmenting your body into petals, give you super speed? Unless you can give a logical, reasonable explanation for how that would be possible, how turning into petals > super speed.

Plus, ''we've seen her use her Semblance without "vanishing" from sight twice, in Volume 2. Her super speed has nothing to do with turning into petals''. I think that assumption is because of Qrow saying some Semblances let the person burst into rose petals.
