flower function

A data frame with 18 observations on 8 variables:<table class="table">
<tr><td>[ , "V1"]</td><td>factor</td><td>winters</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V2"]</td><td>factor</td><td>shadow</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V3"]</td><td>factor</td><td>tubers</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V4"]</td><td>factor</td><td>color</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V5"]</td><td>ordered</td><td>soil</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V6"]</td><td>ordered</td><td>preference</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V7"]</td><td>numeric</td><td>height</td></tr>
<tr><td>[ , "V8"]</td><td>numeric</td><td>distance</td></tr>
</table>
<dl>
 <dt>V1</dt>
<dd>winters, is binary and indicates whether the plant may be left
 in the garden when it freezes.</dd>
 <dt>V2</dt>
<dd>shadow, is binary and shows whether the plant needs to stand
 in the shadow.</dd>
 <dt>V3</dt>
<dd>tubers, is asymmetric binary and distinguishes between plants
 with tubers and plants that grow in any other way.</dd>
 <dt>V4</dt>
<dd>color, is nominal and specifies the flower's color (1 = white,
 2 = yellow, 3 = pink, 4 = red, 5 = blue).</dd>
 <dt>V5</dt>
<dd>soil, is ordinal and indicates whether the plant grows in dry
 (1), normal (2), or wet (3) soil.</dd>
 <dt>V6</dt>
<dd>preference, is ordinal and gives someone's preference ranking
 going from 1 to 18.</dd>
 <dt>V7</dt>
<dd>height, is interval scaled, the plant's height in centimeters.</dd>
 <dt>V8</dt>
<dd>distance, is interval scaled, the distance in centimeters that
 should be left between the plants.</dd>
