I like that you didn’t use punctuation between “word” and “flowers”.
That makes “flowers” part of two sentences …
Her favorite word: flowers.
Flowers are everywhere.

I can really labor over punctuation. Who would have thought a comma can have such meaning? I believe that some haiku purists can be anti any sort of punctuation. I guess it’s more minimal without. Even caps can be a no no!
