Why is my program not working as expected?

I've got some code for a card game but it's not working as expected.

Code:

from random import choice as c
card_flowers = ['spade', 'heart', 'club', 'diamond']
card_colors = ['black', 'red']
card_roles = ['2', 'A', 'K', 'Q', 'J', '10', '9', '8', '7', '6', '5', '4', '3']
card = c(card_flowers),c(card_colors),c(card_roles)
p3_cards = card * 18
n = 1
for p3_card in p3_cards:
    print('card ' + str(n) + ':\n' + p3_card + '\n\n', end='')
    n += 1

Output:

card 1:
diamond

black

card 5:

card 6:

I thought it was going to give me 18 cards each with a type of flower, color, and role, but instead it gave me 54 cards each with only 1 kind of element! That's the total number of cards! Plus, the elements were the same for every 3 cards! Anyone explain it to me?
