On top of the hill at the edge of Ivydale, there was a garden with beautiful daffodils, roses, lilies, irises, and poppies. No one lived near the garden. No one was ever seen tending the flowers. Some say the garden belonged to the flower fairies. No one really knows who takes care of it, but everyone knows that the flowers grow in a perfect ratio of six daffodils to four roses to five lilies, to three irises to five poppies. Sierra climbed the hill to the garden to pick some of the flowers for Mother's Day. She found one hundred eight daffodils growing there. How many irises were in the garden?
