Back in march Flow integration started rolling out to First Release customers. Rollout is not complete yet and the feature is still in development. So it might very well be the functionality isn't available to you yet.

Ah I think I know what you mean... I've just created a Flow using the Flow management site using the SharePoint "For a selected item" trigger but after saving the Flow I noticed the Flow didn't appear in my List or Item menus.

Then I created a Flow from within SharePoint itself using the Create Flow command from within the list. Immediately after I created the Flow this way I did see the Flow appear by its name in the command bar of my list (under "Flow") as well as on the item menu for list items (under "Flow" as well).

Haven't worked a lot with Flow yet so I'm not sure I forgot something. Could also be a bug...
