× I am particularly fond of the flower Rose.
✓ I am particularly fond of the flower rose.
The word 'rose' is a common noun here and should not be capitalized or preceded by 'the' unless referring to a specific rose. Using 'the flower rose' is incorrect; it should be 'the flower rose' without capitalization or simply 'rose'.
× even if it is as an offering to the God.
✓ even if it is as an offering to God.
In English, when referring to God in a general religious context, the definite article 'the' is not used before 'God'. Saying 'the God' is incorrect; it should be 'God'.
× Gandhinagar is typically known for its lush green gardens, and I think a variety of flowers are available in natural, bright colors, different varieties.
✓ Gandhinagar is typically known for its lush green gardens, and I think a variety of flowers in natural, bright colors and different varieties are available.
The original sentence has a confusing structure with misplaced phrases. The correction rearranges the sentence to clearly state that a variety of flowers with natural, bright colors and different varieties are available. This improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× and he he too, is somebody who's known to like flowers.
✓ and he too is somebody who's known to like flowers.
The repetition 'he he' is a typographical error. Removing the extra 'he' corrects the sentence. Also, the comma after 'too' is unnecessary and removed for better flow.
× I take pictures of the plant which is growing in my garden very often.
✓ I take pictures of the plants which are growing in my garden very often.
If multiple pictures are taken, it is likely that multiple plants are involved. Using plural 'plants' and plural verb 'are' agrees with the plural subject. This corrects the singular/plural mismatch.
× Giving flowers or bouquets is very common gift in our country.
✓ Giving flowers or bouquets is a very common gift in our country.
The phrase 'very common gift' requires an article 'a' before 'very common gift' to be grammatically correct. Without the article, the sentence is incomplete.
× Large proportion of people follow this trend as it is considered warm and it is quite a nice form of gift.
✓ A large proportion of people follow this trend as it is considered warm and it is quite a nice form of gift.
The phrase 'Large proportion' needs the indefinite article 'A' before it to be grammatically correct. Without 'A', the phrase is incomplete and incorrect.
