This requires that the interesting images have been categorized as having red flowers. I could just as well hope that the description text mentions red flowers, and do a full text search. Both will fail, because this detailed level of categorization/description is lacking.

Perhaps you're hoping for automatic image recognition? I don't think computing, as a science, is there yet. I think I read something about Google and videos of cats, but even the billionaires can't solve this problem, yet. Sorry.
Even though this picture is categorized as "fruit vendors", it isn't categorized as apples, bananas, cherries, peaches, and pears, or paper crates, or string, or mostly shadow with a little sunshine on a sidewalk. With 21 million files, how can we reach that level of detail in documentation? [...]
