bleaching action of SO2 is due to reduction(nascent [H]). When the bleached substance is exposed to air(O2), it again gets oxidised, ie, coloured. Whereas bleaching action of Cl2 is due to oxidation([O]), which cannot be reversed in presence of air.

Because when chlorine is treated with water it produces nascent oxygen which combines with colour substance and then oxide into colourless substance this property doesn't hold for Sulphur Dioxide that's why bleaching of flower by chlorine is permanent while then by Sulphur dioxide is temporary
