Unlike sugarcane and other vegetables, flowers can't be cultivated. They can only occasionally grow by applying Bone Meal to a Grass block. Growing flowers in Minecraft depends on which biome it is being grown. Hence the type of flower players will get will entirely depend on which biome they are at that moment.

After growing flowers, they should be taken care of. Also, to prevent flowers from dying, they should be exposed to sunlight or any other artificial light source that can illuminate above light level 8.
