.


      5 + 5 = 10 flowers along the two longer edges

PLUS

      2 + 2 = 4  flowers along the two shorter edges  ( ! the corners are just occupied !).


In all,  10 + 4 = 14 flowers.

ANOTHER SOLUTION is THIS :

The perimeter is  4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 14 ft.


Planting the flowers along the perimeter at 1 ft apart, you will plant 14 flowers.
