Question

What are the different combinations?

Answer 1

LET'S distingish the flowers by designating them RED, WHITE, BLUE.

 

There are two ways to have red flowers; two ways to have white flowers; 2 ways to have blue flowers.

 

So 2•2•2 = 8 looks like the greatest # of ways that are possible.
