This is a general price guide list I found on the internet several years ago. Prices could be adjusted to what sells in your area. These are not my prices, for instance I think the Calla Lilies are overpriced because they are a fast, easy flower to make. But it will give you a general idea of where to start pricing.

Stephanotis
Flowers $2.00
Buds $1.00

Orchids
$12.50

Roses
Tight Bud $4.00
Opened Bud $5.00
Mid sized rose $6.00
Full rose $7.00
Leaf 25 cents

Gardenia

Bud $3.00
Leaf 25 cents

Freesia Spike
$6.00 to $9.00 depending on amount of flowers on spike

Carnation

Thanks so much, Shirley. This is a wonderful jumping off point for these flowers.

I think that the cheap, mass produced flowers you can find on the Internet really confuse the issue--sort of like the difference between flank steak and filet mignon (they're both beef, but that's about as far as you can go in saying that they're the same thing). For those who choose to make the more delicate and professional handmade flowers, it's just not fair or reasonable to make such a comparison.
