A (bouquet) of flowers

Can bouquet be used to express the amount of flowers?

Eg

I bought a bouquet of flowers for my friend.

Your example sentence is fine. Bouquets are a group of flowers nicely arranged - like how florists do. A Bouquet doesn't tell you have many flowers are bunched together though (so doesn't really tell you an amount of flowers), but I feel a bouquet should be more than 5 flowers.
