× They're pleasant fragrances and colorful blooms always brighten my mood.
✓ They have pleasant fragrances, and colorful blooms always brighten my mood.
The original sentence uses 'They're' (they are) to refer to flowers but then follows with 'pleasant fragrances' which is a noun phrase; using 'they have' clarifies possession. Also a comma and conjunction improve flow. Use 'they have pleasant fragrances' to show flowers possess fragrances rather than 'they are pleasant fragrances.' Suggestion: say 'They have pleasant fragrances' or 'Their pleasant fragrances' to correctly link the noun to flowers.
× She grows A variety such as lilies, sunflowers and daisies which make the place very colorful and beautiful, and I often sit here to relax where she tanned the plants.
✓ She grows a variety of plants such as lilies, sunflowers and daisies, which make the place very colorful and beautiful, and I often sit there to relax while she tends the plants.
Errors: 'A' is incorrectly capitalized; the correct phrase is 'a variety of plants'. Preposition 'of' is needed after 'variety'. 'Here' should be 'there' to refer to her garden; 'where she tanned the plants' is wrong: 'tanned' is incorrect verb and meaning; correct verb is 'tends' and use 'while' to show simultaneous actions. Suggestions: use 'a variety of plants', 'there', and 'tends' for correct meaning and preposition use.
× Actually not many.
✓ Actually, not many flowers.
The original short reply lacks the noun being referred to; adding 'flowers' clarifies meaning. Also add a comma after 'Actually' for natural speech. Article errors arise because omission of the noun makes the sentence incomplete in context.
× so there's only limited place for me to plant some flowers and my mom grows lilies and daisies there which really brighten the space and I enjoy tending them at weekends because caring for them helps me relax.
✓ so there's only a limited place for me to plant some flowers, and my mom grows lilies and daisies there which really brighten the space. I enjoy tending them on weekends because caring for them helps me relax.
Missing article 'a' before 'limited place' is an article error affecting singular/plural reference. Also run-on sentence; split into two for clarity. Use 'on weekends' for correct preposition. Suggestions: include 'a' before singular noun and separate clauses for readability.
× Yes, I really enjoy photographing flowers including Lily's daisies or sometimes just around the flowers I find in the park.
✓ Yes, I really enjoy photographing flowers, including lilies and daisies, or sometimes just photographing the flowers I find in the park.
'Lily's' incorrectly uses possessive and capitalisation; should be plural 'lilies'. Commas help list items. Also clarified 'just around the flowers' to 'just photographing the flowers' to make the verb explicit. Suggestion: use plural nouns for types and ensure verbs are explicit.
× They are vibrant colors and sweet fragrance make me feel relaxed, and taking photos helps me notice more details and feel more passionate about nature.
✓ Their vibrant colors and sweet fragrance make me feel relaxed, and taking photos helps me notice more details and feel more passionate about nature.
Subject pronoun 'They are' is incorrect here; use possessive 'Their' to show that the colors and fragrance belong to the flowers. This fixes the adjective/noun relationship. Suggestion: use 'their' before the nouns that describe attributes of flowers.
