I dislike the look of Cosmos, and sometimes Pansies. I think the dislike of Pansies comes from them being my native flower, making them feel like a very generic sight to me.
I love how wild the mums look. I let them grow randomly all over my upper cliffs alongside the weeds and it's beautiful. Cosmo ranked higher than I would've expected, I always hated those in past games. They look better now, and probably closest to a Pikmin flower lol.
I don't like lilies irl and I don't like them here.
Pansies got... Uglier somehow? Idk.
Hyacinths just don't do it for me. The yellow ones look like corn and the orange looks like wheat or something. Too much of a farm aesthetic for me.
1. Hyacinths
2. Lilies
3. Lily of the valley
4. Tulips
5. Cosmos (I like the standard colour ones)
6. Mums (really thought I'd like these but theyre just too... blobby)
7. Roses (hybrid colours and shape so underwhelming in acnh??? Purple looks almost black...)
8. Pansies
9. Windflowers (I love anemone irl but they look so strange in game... especially the pink ones)
1. hyacinths
2. Mums
3. Roses
4. Lilies
5. Cosmos (I love the white ones a lot tho!)
6. Tulips
7. Windflowers
8. Pansies - the dark center just doesn’t do it for me :/
I love the pastel colors of the hyacinths and mums! I also love all the purple & blue & pink flowers I have a heart lake surrounded by these hybrids
I like all of the flowers in this game but my ranking would be:
1. Lilies (so elegant)
2. Mums (cute, remind me of white clovers which I love IRL)
3. Lily of the valley (also elegant)
4. windflowers (cute, colorful, and my local flower)
5. hyacinths (fluffy tail looking)
6. cosmos (classic)
7. roses (classic, but boring)
8. pansies (severe lack of color options, but I like the contrast)
9. tulips (so very boring)
9. tulips (very boring, don't like the simple look of them)
8. roses (also boring, i don't like how you can't wear them in your hair)
7. lilies (except for black lilies, which are super nice, i find these pretty boring with not enough colors)
6. cosmos (super cute but not enough color options, i love white cosmos)
5. mums (very cute but i wish there were more colors, although i absolutely love green mums)
4. pansies (i love the dual-tone, i think orange pansies are the only orange flower i like)
3. windflowers (super cute, i like the pink ones the most)
2. hyacinths (very cute, i love the color options and how they are sort of pastel)
1. lily of the valley (very elegant looking and kind of like a trophy to show off)
1. Pansies (love them, so versatile)
2. Tulips (am not using them as much, but love how bright and shiny they look)
3. Cosmos (except for the yellow ones)
4. Hyacinths (cute, except for the orange ones)
5. Lilies (use them only for beaches, but they look great there)
6. Mums (I adore the green mums, don't really care about the other ones)
7. Windflowers (not very memorable tbh)
8. Roses (idk but they look really flat and some colours look so washed out, so I barely have any on my island)
Windflowers
Hyacinths
Tulips
Lilies
Roses
Cosmos
Mums
Pansies
The top 4 are all pretty great. Windflowers just look really good to me and i have a lot on my island. Hyacinths look great especially in more natural areas. think tulips had a glo-up in this game, and I find they’re really versatile. Roses on the other hand kinda look worse? And I’ve never liked pansies.
1. Hyacinth
2. Lily of the valley
3. Lily
4. Rose
5. Tulip
6. Mum
7. Windflower
8. Cosmos
9. Pansy
I hadn't put much thought into my flower arrangements prior to seeing this thread, just lazily crossbreeding at random. After actually stopping to consider it, now I know exactly what I want my island to look like - hyacinths everywhere. Better start working on that.
1. lily of the valley
2. windflower
3. hyacinth
4. rose
5. cosmos
6. mum
7. tulip
8. pansy
9. lily (in this game specifically, something about them just seems off to me).
1. Hyacinths (I didn’t know about native flowers and was lucky to get these; the softer colors look so much more real!)
2. Pansies (I love the contrast)
3. Cosmos (simple, bright, cheerful)
4. Lilies (got a huge upgrade in this game)
5. Tulips (love the recolors!)
6. Windflowers (great shape but the colors aren’t quite right to me)
7. Lily of the valley (pretty but no variety)
8. Mums (I dunno, these just haven’t clicked with me?)
9. Roses (the level of detail has never looked quite right to me)
I like all flower types, though. I’m using them all for decoration in one place or another.
honestly I really like all flowers except for the roses, cosmos (except for the white and black cosmos), and orange pansies. Roses were one of my favorites in New Leaf, but now I don't like their new design!
love seeing everyone's different opinions on these hahaha. i personally find red flowers to be my least favorite, across breed and hyacinths and mums to be my most favorite breeds, across colors.
the more important thing to me is always a color scheme - my island uses the s tier flowers below with white flower accents throughout and it feels very poppy and satisfying haha. think it all depends on your aesthetic ! someone above mentioned not liking that hyacinths look like other plants and personally i find that the best part about them. gives a bit of wonder to my island. but to each their own !
I have a heart lake surrounded by these hybrids 
but my ranking would be:
