Looks great! I feel the stem could be a bit more interesting, but I love these colors!
She completely redid it with 25 colours yo.
Looks much better, shows that you don't need a ton of colours to make something vibrant :)
I'm sorry I have to agree that other tools had to have been used. For one it started at 255 colours which is a pretty standard colour reduction number. picking 255 colours is excessive and it just doesn't seem like a coincidence. Even 100 is astronomical as cure pointed out, especially on such a tiny piece.
Here's a version with 16 colours:

not great and colour selection could be better. 24colours could probably be a better number but 100 is still rather extreme for pixel art.
I can only assume, due to the astronomical colour count, that this was created using automatic tools then had the colors automatically reduced. All these automatic processes aren't really in the spirit of pixel art, and 100 is still a huge number of colors for this.
man I really like this. PM Jeremy ( administrator ) because sometimes he just jump a pixel art before approving
100 colours for a 50x50 px piece? Way too much. This totally doesn't look like 100 colours.
I love the light values! you can see the translucency and bounced light between petals really well. This is awesome.
I see what your saying about the need for colour choice, although in this case, I was picking colours that I saw in the photo reference, and hoped that by picking many, it would enhance the realistic feel and likeness to the photo. I do not ever use the brush tool when making pixel art, only the pencil tool. I have tried using less than 100% opacity flow in other pieces but in this case, I wanted to use as many of the colours I could see in the photo as I could.
I'll see about bringing down the colour count and edit it : )
The result actually does look good, but color management is important to pixel art. It goes hand in hand with pixel management. Even with 1/4 of the colors here (there's 255) it'd look 99.9% the exact same. The fact that there's a color count that just happens to be one less than 256 (the most colors a gif file can have) makes me think that there were more colors than that originally and it just got reduced while saving. Again, the effect you achieved is good, and the idea is good, but I don't think this is really pixel art because with that many colors it's unlikely that you were placing the pixels with individual consideration for them. Did you use something like a brush tool with automatic antialiasing, or less than 100% opacity and flow? That can make the color count rise very quickly and is considered a non-pixel art tool on this site.
Wow very funy :) look gread
