Not really Starby,
I think there are different flowers one identify with while others dont. I dont like carnations that much,but I think daisies are so pretty especially the wild kind.
I love African lilies(I think they are called)

,but not too much a fan of red roses.I like roses but more other colours than red.
EDIT:::As for me I am looking at the single flower,but for you, maybe you are imagining a whole bouquet and what will look best together...maybe that makes a lot of difference in flower preference especially if you are about to design a bouquet.:)
