A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition like of, in, to.

05:33
However, the head noun is always the central focus of the noun phrase.

ืขื ื–ืืช, ืฉื ื”ืขืฆื ื”ืจืืฉื™ ื”ื•ื ืชืžื™ื“ ื”ืžื•ืงื“ ื”ืžืจื›ื–ื™ ืฉืœ ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ืฉื ื”ืขืฆื.

ืœื“ื•ื’ืžื”, ื–ืจ ื”ืคืจื—ื™ื ื™ืคื”ืคื”.

The prepositional phrase of flowers just gives more detail about the bouquet.
