I'm not conscious that I flare, either. Does one flare when making a
wheelie on a conventional-gear aircraft?


Yes. They have to reduce the sink rate to a minimum before
touching down, and then raise the tail a bit to keep the wheels
planted. Banging the mains on with insufficient flare causes what we
know as "jackrabbiting" down the runway, and propstrikes are often the
result.
