× Definitely yes, because when it comes to flowers.
✓ Definitely yes, because when it comes to flowers, I really like them.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a main clause after 'when it comes to flowers'. Add a main clause (I really like them) to complete the sentence and make the idea clear; maintain present-tense general statement.
× I just I just buy a beautiful flowers and present them to my mother.
✓ I just buy beautiful flowers and present them to my mother.
The phrase 'a beautiful flowers' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'flowers'. Remove the article and the duplicated 'I just' and use plural 'flowers' to match the intended meaning.
× my mom adores flowers and when it comes to like special occasions I just I just buy a beautiful flowers and present them to my mother.
✓ My mom adores flowers, and when it comes to special occasions, I buy beautiful flowers and present them to my mother.
Remove the filler 'like' and repeated wording, add commas for clarity, and correct article/plural as above. 'When it comes to special occasions' is the correct prepositional phrase.
× As I have mentioned earlier, my mom adores flowers. So, uh, in our garden my mom nurtures some flowers like rose.
✓ As I mentioned earlier, my mom adores flowers, so in our garden she nurtures some flowers such as roses.
Use 'As I mentioned earlier' (more natural), combine clauses to avoid choppiness, replace 'like rose' with 'such as roses' and pluralize 'rose' to match 'some flowers'.
× No, I don't usually take a photos of flowers on a daily basis and I don't know the reason why.
✓ No, I don't usually take photos of flowers on a daily basis and I don't know why.
Do not use 'a' before the plural 'photos'. Also 'I don't know why' is more concise than 'I don't know the reason why'.
× Maybe it's just because we have a lot of flowers in our garden.
✓ Maybe it's just because we have a lot of flowers in our garden.
This sentence is correct; 'a lot of flowers' appropriately uses quantifier and articles. No change needed.
× In my country, flowers are popular gifts for women or girls beating on any occasions.
✓ In my country, flowers are popular gifts for women and girls on many occasions.
Replace incorrect word 'beating' with 'on' and 'any occasions' with 'many occasions' for correct collocation and clearer meaning.
× People usually buy a flower and just give as a gift.
✓ People usually buy flowers and give them as gifts.
Singular 'a flower' is acceptable but less natural; better to use plural 'flowers' and include object pronoun 'them' and plural 'gifts' to match. This corrects article and adds the necessary pronoun.
