There are a total of 5 + 6 + 4 = 15 flowers.
The probability of selecting a carnation on the first draw is 6/15.
Once a carnation has been selected, there are only 5 + 4 = 9 flowers left, of which 5 are begonias and 4 are tulips.
So the probability of selecting a second carnation after the first one has been removed is 5/9.
Therefore, the probability of selecting two carnations in a row without replacement is:
(6/15) x (5/9) = 1/3 x 5/9 = 5/27 or approximately 0.185.

I apologize, there seems to be an error in the original question. It is unclear what "A bit flower as" means. It is possible that it was meant to say "A bouquet of flowers" or "A mixed flower arrangement" instead.
