1.flowers whose diameter is more than 10cm
Is this correct?
Or should it be "flowers whose diametrers are more than 10cm"?

2.flowers of 10 cm in diameter
3.flowers more than/at least 10 cm in diameter
4.flowers 10 cm in diameter
Are these correct?

Thank you in advance!

1. Is correct. There is only one diameter.
2. Is correct.
3. Either is OK English but more than and at least don't mean the same thing. At least includes flowers that are 10cms but more than does not.
4. Is correct

Please note that the first letter in a sentence should be capitalized.
