10. Those are beautiful flowers and the little girl is adorable. Are they real? They look so big.

If I had to choose between the three, I would say it's a tie between the top two. I love bi-colored flowers.

As for other flowers, I like begonias and New Guinea impatiens because, aside from being pretty, they're so low maintenance. I also like lilacs for their color and aroma.
