About "flower"

When I want to describe a flower. Can I say, "Bring me back a piece of flower"? If not, how do I say this?

Thank you!

A piece of something is where it has been broken/cut/divided into smaller parts. which I don't think you want. If it's just one flower you want, then you should say 'Bring me back a flower', but if you want more than one, you could say 'Bring me back some flowers/a bunch of flowers.

A piece of something is where it has been broken/cut/divided into smaller parts. a piece of a flower might be only one petal, or part of the stalk...which I don't think you want.

If it's just one flower you want, then you should say 'Bring me back a flower', but if you want more than one, you could say

'Bring me back some flowers/a bunch of flowers.

No, and you're not 'describing a flower' with that sentence anyway. If you want to see a flower, ask someone to 'bring me back a flower / bring me back some flowers'.
