position of 2 adjectives describing same noun
Sentence: I have three pretty (noun): Do I write both French adjectives together, before the noun, please?
One is a number (trois) and the other is about beauty (jolis/jolies)= BANGS rule, which ordinarily means that each of these adjectives goes before the noun when on their own; but do they still go before the noun when there are two adjectives, please?
J'ai trois jolis fleurs: correct? incorrect?

Bonjour Cheryl !
Yes they will still come before the noun: number first (as it replaces "des"/"les") and then "jolies" (agrees with "fleurs"!):
"J'ai trois jolies fleurs."
Bonne journée !
