I am trying to find out what this type of processing is called or if there is a tutorial on the below example.
There is a pic of a girl holding flowers. The entire pic is b/w except for the flowers.
How is this accomplished in photoshop CS?

It is called Selevitive Desaturation
Here's a tutorial on how to do it within Basic rules
//www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=25
There are several ways to acomplish the effect outside the Basic rules.
It involves layers, masking, color manipulation. Too much really to go into deatil here.
Try the basic stuff first.

there is so many technics to do that, you may try desaturated selective color in hue/ sat, or duplicate layer in b and w and remove all the colos with eraser tool.. something like that i think

The best way is probably by using Layer Masks

If it is a small area that needs desat I copy the layer and use the "sponge" tool. The sponge tool is part of the 3 tools grouped with the burn and dodge tool.
It is probably the most least used technique but for small areas it is the best! (this technique NOT legal in basic editing) ! |

| I have a pic of my son that is B/W but he has really blue eyes. So I want to show the blue eyes and leave the rest of the pic b/w. |

| Well the easiest way to accomplish that would be to go into the adjustments/saturation and desaturate every color besides blue and cyan. Then take the desaturate sponge (with a big brush size) and just desaturate everything except the eyes (you'll want a smaller brush size when you work around the eyes). |
