One of each flower

The little ones wanted to pick... "one of every single flower in the gardens, Nanna." "Just one," I agreed.
Into a red bowl on the 4th of July table went one of each flower:
1 pink petunia
1 purple petunia
1 heliotrope
1 chamomile
1 buttercup
1 daisy
1 red rose
1 pink rose
1 wild rose
1 lavender sprig
1 honeysuckle
1 rhododendron blossom
I think they cheated.
