3/4 inches
So the tallest flower is 8 and 1/4 inches tall, and the shortest flower is 6 and 1/2 inches tall.
To find the difference, subtract the height of the shortest flower from the height of the tallest flower:
8 1/4 - 6 1/2 = 1 3/4
The tallest flower is 1 3/4 inches taller than the shortest flower.
