- There were 7 days between A and the one given chrysanthemums.
- There were more than 7 days between N and the one given roses.
Solution:
Given the clues provided, we can determine that the guest invited immediately before the one given chrysanthemums is N. This is because:
- R was invited before B and the guest invited immediately after R was given lilies.
- The one invited immediately before O was given orchids, so O cannot be the one given chrysanthemums.
- There were more than 7 days between N and the one given roses, so N must be the guest invited immediately before the one given chrysanthemums.
Therefore, the correct answer is None of the above.
- The first guest was invited on 25 June.
- A was given lilacs.
- R was invited before B.
- The one invited immediately before O was given orchids.

The first guest was invited on 25 June. Three guests were invited between A and B such that A was invited before B. A was given lilacs. There were 13 days in between the dates on which B and O were invited. As 13 = 6 + 1 + 6, so there was one person invited as guest in between B and O. The one who was invited immediately before O was given orchids. O was not the last guest to be invited.
There were 7 days in between the dates on which A and the one who was given chrysanthemums were invited. The one who was invited immediately after R was given lilies. R was invited before B. R was not invited in June. O was not given lilies. The bouquets were given to the guests such that no two consecutive guests were given flowers whose names stan with the letter 'L'.
The one who was given camellias was invited as guest on 11 August. In between 25 June and 11 August, there are 46 days. If 6 persons were invited between the first person and the one who was given camellias, then minimum number of days between the dates on which these two persons were invited = 6 × 7 + 6 = 48 > 46. So, less than 6 persons were invited between these two persons. It 4 persons were invited between these two persons, then maximum number of days between the dates on which these two persons were invited = 8 × 5 + 4 = 44 < 46.
So, more than 4 persons were invited between these two persons. Hence, 5 persons were invited between the first person and the one who was given camellias.
So, case 1 and case 3 are invalid
There were 14 days in between the dates on which X and the one who was given roses were invited.
14 = 6 + 1 + 7, so there was one guest in between X and the one who was given roses.
H and X were invited in the same month. H was invited before 19 August.
T was invited immediately before the one who was given lotuses. T was not given roses. There were more than 7 days in between the dates on which N and the one who was given roses were invited.
Since there are 14 days between the dates on which X and the one who was given roses were invited, so, case 4 is invalid.
Since there were 7 days in between the dates on which A and the one who was given chrysanthemums were invited, so, A was invited on 3 July.
There were 8 days in between the dates on which T was invited and the guest immediately before him was invited.
So, T was invited on 12 July. Also, in between B and O, it was 13 (= 6 + 1 +6) days. So, O was invited on 20 July and a was invited on 3 Aug.
There were 7 days in between the dates on which A and the one who was given chrysanthemums were invited. The one who was invited immediately after R was given lilies. R was invited before B. R was not invited in June. O was not given lilies. The bouquets were given to the guests such that no two consecutive guests were given flowers whose names stan with the letter 'L'.
The one who was given camellias was invited as guest on 11 August. In between 25 June and 11 August, there are 46 days. If 6 persons were invited between the first person and the one who was given camellias, then minimum number of days between the dates on which these two persons were invited = 6 × 7 + 6 = 48 > 46. So, less than 6 persons were invited between these two persons. It 4 persons were invited between these two persons, then maximum number of days between the dates on which these two persons were invited = 8 × 5 + 4 = 44 < 46.
So, more than 4 persons were invited between these two persons. Hence, 5 persons were invited between the first person and the one who was given camellias.
So, case 1 and case 3 are invalid
There were 14 days in between the dates on which X and the one who was given roses were invited.
14 = 6 + 1 + 7, so there was one guest in between X and the one who was given roses.
H and X were invited in the same month. H was invited before 19 August.
T was invited immediately before the one who was given lotuses. T was not given roses. There were more than 7 days in between the dates on which N and the one who was given roses were invited.
Since there are 14 days between the dates on which X and the one who was given roses were invited, so, case 4 is invalid.
Since there were 7 days in between the dates on which A and the one who was given chrysanthemums were invited, so, A was invited on 3 July.
There were 8 days in between the dates on which T was invited and the guest immediately before him was invited.
So, T was invited on 12 July. Also, in between B and O, it was 13 (= 6 + 1 +6) days. So, O was invited on 20 July and a was invited on 3 Aug.
