She is most famous for her flower paintings but which one depends on the person. My personal choice is Red Gladiola in White Vase.

The flower painting, you know the one with the flower. "Oriental Poppies"

You have to decide what your criteria would be for an exact answer, a scientific survey to ask a representative sample of people which ones they had seen, or you could analyse all the print and posters sales from all the companies to find out which one sells the most...............?
Here's one company for example which has 'From the Lake No 1' in its most popular list:

But if you have to choose one it might be sensible to pick the one that was on the US postage stamp 'Red Poppy':

Remember, to paraphrase Freud: "sometimes a flower is just a flower".
