Answer 1

I don't think there's program smart enough to do that for you yet. Last time I did it, it involves some accurate brush work and patience.
Anyway, try this selective coloring tutorial:

Good Luck

Answer 2

You can duplicate the photo onto a second layer. Grayscale the top layer. Use the eraser tool to reveal the colour bouquet underneath on the layer that's still in colour.

Answer 3

I think you need to change the pic to grayscale and then use the history brush to put the boquet back into color. Just zoom in really well so you can get the detail.

Answer 4

use the selection tool to select part of the image. the use the tool to make it black and white. look in the image or edit menu.
