Flower Children

It was Valentines Day at Pelican High. Five boys named Adam, Jose, Isaiah, Frank, and John have secret sweethearts named Carrie, Grace, Laura, Mary, and Nellie. The five boys decided to pick a different number of blossoms and a different flower for their sweethearts.

The number of blossoms are: 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10.

The flowers are: Blazing Stars, Blue Vervain, Coneflowers, Prairie Clovers and Stiff Goldenrods.

Can you figure out the number of blossoms and the type of flower each boy picked and the girl to whom he presented the bouquet?

1. Adam picked exactly two fewer Blue Vervain than Isaiah picked of his flower.

2. Frank picked Stiff Goldenrods for his sweetheart. Nellie received nine blossoms from her beau.

3. Mary received fewer blossoms than the girl whose admirer handed her a bunch of Blazing Stars but more blossoms than at least one other young lady. Jose picked flowers for Laura.

4. Grace received the next-higher number of flowers than the girl who accepted Prairie Clovers but fewer blossoms than John's sweetheart.

5. Isaiah picked a bouquet of Blazing Stars.
