Assuming that the order of selection is not important, this is a question of number of ways. In other words, the combination should be computed. That is,

Number of ways of selection 5 flowers = 12C5 = 12!/{5!*(12-5)!} = 12!/{5!*7!} = 792

Therefore, there are 792 ways in which 5 flowers can be selected from the available 12 flowers.
