An array of flowers

Angliholic"a plenty of flowers?"

I am not familiar with this expression. A plenty of ...?

If I read that sentence, I would say it meant that Mary bought a variety of flowers -- all different kinds of flowers.

We don't say 'a plenty of flowers'; it should be 'plenty of flowers'.

That's not quite what an array of flowers means. It means a selection of flowers suitable perhaps for a display of some sort; it suggests that they were a wide mixture of good flowers which could go in an elaborate arrangement.

Hi,
Does "an array of flowers" in the above refer to "a plenty of flowers?" Thanks.

I would say "array of flowers" to mean a wide variety of flower types.
