Alright, so the puzzle is attached to this post.

We have on the left a few images of flowers with text that I cannot make out,

On the top right, words in Latin, some possibly scientific names of flowers

In the bottom right, an mathematical equation of division. Loose to be somethign I cant make out divided by what looks lik the word ROSE it appears that the result, at the top, is BUD, but I'm not sure of that.

The flowers pictured are tulip, fuschia, pansy, and daffodil.

The text says:

2. Hundreds of varieties. Colorful showy flowers: wide range of colors, sizes, shapes. Erect and trailing forms. Hardy to 30F.

3 Two types: One has large variegated blooms: the other, smaller solid-colored flowers. Each prefer semi-

5. Yellow, orange, white, or bi-colored flowers. Plant in autumn: sun, light shade. Blooms in spring. Hardy.

Maybe if we think of it like...how many times does U (UDBSDE) Go into ROSE. 0, and so on. It might give an IP, location or binary.

Well the solution we want to email in seem to be that blank circled area.
My guess is we someone need to figure out how this equation is working and then fill in the missing space.

I've got the circled part. I can't get code and spoiler to work together well, so let me know if you want more reasoning.

Nice job, EGo! Now, it's my bet that there MAY be more to this puzzle. There's way too much flower stuff floating around.. has anyone been able to figure out the top right corner yet?

Or what the wierd spirally thing in the middle is?

Those slash marks have me thinking that this is a three part puzzle.

I don't know if this is anything, because it seems too easy, but looking at the Muscari-7 and Antirrhinum majus-16; those are just letter counts.
So..

As for the top left corner, i think that the numbers near the descs are important. They don't go in order so maybe that number letter from each answer? I don't know.

ummmm...hi Smile
