Diasy -> Rose
let speed be v, distance is d+2 (2 more then that between Rose and Poppy), time taken is 10 sec.
$$d+3 = 10 *v$$

Rose -> Poppy
Distance is d, speed is v+3 , time taken is 6 sec.
$$d = 6 * (v+3)$$

Solving two eqyations
$$d-6v = 18$$
$$d-10v = -2$$

we have v = 5

Let the speed be 's' and let the distance between rose and poppy be 'x'
The problem boils down to:
Rose to Poppy: s+3=x/6 ------- 1
Daisy to Rose: s=(x+2)/10------ 2

so from 1 we can re write x as x=6s+18
substitute the value of x in 2 gives us s=5 m/s

From Daisy to Rose : D + 2 = 10R => D = 10R - 2
From Rose to Poppy: D = 6 ( R + 3 )

6 ( R + 3 ) = 10R - 2
6R + 18 = 10R - 2
18 + 2 = 10R - 6R
20 = 4R
5 = R
