70 flowers were planted in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Tulips = t

Daises = d

Lilies = l

Total tulips planted = 42

She planted 2 times as many tulips as daises.

t=2d

Putting t=42

$42=2d\\2d=42$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2d}{2}=\frac{42}{2}\\d=21$

And 3 times as many daisies as lilies.

d=3l

Putting d=21

$21=3l\\3l=21$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3l}{3}=\frac{21}{3}\\l=7$

Total flowers planted = Tulips + Daisies + Lilies

Total flowers planted = 42 + 21 + 7 = 70

70 flowers were planted in all.
