I'm not sure how to write the sentence below. I have two ways in mind, but I'm afraid that both of them are confusing.
The flowers were various colors. This might as well mean that each flower had many colors. But my intended meaning is that each flower was one color, but there were many colors overall.
Each flower was a different color. This might as well mean that each flower was a different color from any other flower around. But, in the scene I'm trying to describe, maybe there were, say, two yellow flowers, three green ones etc.
