T sits second to the left of the one who likes Lavender. Only three people sit between the one who likes Rose and the one who likes Marigold. U sits second to the left of the one who likes Marigold.

The one who likes Rose sits second to the right of W.Solution
Only one person sits between T and the one who likes Lily. P sits second to the left of the one who likes Lily. If the one who likes Lily sits at place no.1, then P sits at place no. 7 and T sits at place no. 3. T sits second to the left of the one who likes Lavender. So, the one who likes Lavender at place no. 5. Only two persons sit between V and the one who has likes Lavender. From this statement, we will have two cases: V will sit either at place no. 2 or 8. W is an immediate neighbour of R. R is not an immediate neighbour of P or T and he does not likes Lavender. The one who likes Rose sits second to the right of W. R cannot sit at place no. 6, 5, 4 and 8. So, only place left for him is place no. 1. As W is an immediate neighbour of R. So, W will sit either at place no. 8 or 2. The one who likes Rose sits either at place no. 4 or 2. Only three people sit between the one who likes Rose and the one who likes Marigold. So, the one who likes Marigold sits either at place no. 6 or 8. U sits second to the left of the one who likes Marigold. So, U sits either at place no. 4 or 6. Case-1
CASE-2
W does not likes Daisy. The one who likes Daisy is not an immediate neighbor of W. S sits on the immediate left of the one who likes Daisy. The one who likes Lris sits on the immediate right of the one who likes Pansy. Case 1 will get discarded as the one who likes Daisy cannot sit at place no. 7 and 8. If the one who likes Daisy sits either at place no. 4 or 3, then there is no place for S as S sits on the immediate left of the one who likes Daisy In case 2, if the one who likes Daisy sits at place no. 6, then S sits at place no. 5. The one who likes Lris and the one who likes Pansy sit at place no. 3 and 2 respectively Only person left for place no. 4 is Q. Only flowers left for P is Jasmine Case-1
CASE-2
