Interesting example but not correct. Firstly it is written as "birçok" not "bir çok". Secondly being of different classes or types is not the matter here. "Birçok çiçeklerim var" is weird to say even "if you have an assorted bunch of different flowers". Can you say "görmediğim birçok çiçekler var"? Doesn´t "görmediğim birçok çiçek var" sound better? The sentence "birçok meyvelerin ve sebzelerin yetiştirildiği Mersin" seems to be funny, no? "Birçok meyvelerin anavatanı" or "birçok meyvenin anavatanı", which is correct?
When asked, "what kind of flowers do you have?" the flower lady who stacks various kinds of flowers will reply "Bircok ciceklerim var". That will tell you 1) she has many flowers, 2) she has a number of different kinds of flowers.
If the same lady is asked, "how many flowers do you have?" the question seems to be interested in numbers only, and not in different kinds; her reply may be "Bircok cicegim var" with any assortment of flowers in her possession. She is giving you no information about the number of available kinds, but limiting her reply to "numbers" only.
I think I have shown you at least one example where she can correctly reply "Bir cok ciceklerim var", hence your point that "bircok never followed by a plural noun" is totally plastered.
So what are you talking about?
