Hi,



     DESCRIBE both tables and look at the data types for the 
two fields in question.  VARIETYCODE probably shows up a
a number.  Numbers take 22 bytes in Oracle.



    FLOWERID may be a varchar2(10) or it may be 
number(10,0).  Either way, it looks like the creator of
the tables defaulted on varietycode and specified a length
for flowerid.
