× she likes uh, the flowers Lily.
✓ she likes uh, the flower Lily.
The word 'flowers' is plural, but 'Lily' refers to a singular flower. Therefore, the correct form is 'the flower Lily' to maintain singular and plural agreement.
× there are a lot of flowers in these garden.
✓ there are a lot of flowers in this garden.
The demonstrative pronoun 'these' is used for plural nouns, but 'garden' is singular. The correct demonstrative pronoun for a singular noun is 'this', so it should be 'this garden'.
