"They're" is a contraction of "they are" and would not make sense in this context. "There" is used to indicate a location and does not fit grammatically or logically in this sentence.

In the given sentence, the speaker is expressing doubt about whether the flowers are naturally found in New England, as they have never seen them before. Therefore, both "indigenous" and "native" accurately convey the intended meaning.
