How many flowers are there in Minecraft?

Compared to Minecraft's earlier days, the game now features a large number of different flowers, each with their own uses within the game.

Although many of Minecraft's flowers are used primarily to create different dyes, some possess special purposes, like the wither rose, which can damage players that touch it by inflicting the Wither status effect.

Most flowers can also be used to breed bees, and many flowers can also be used to give different effects to player-crafted suspicious stews.

Despite having similar uses, flowers in player worlds are found in different biomes and some are even obtained through special means. It all comes down to the individual flower in question.
