Problem

Along the path between Fiona’s and Jane’s house there is a row of flowers: 15 peonies and 15 tulips in a random order. Before visiting Fiona’s house, Jane started watering all of the plants from the beginning of the row. After the 10th tulip the water finished and 10 flowers were left unwatered. The next day, before visiting Jane’s house, Fiona started picking flowers for a bouquet starting from the end of the row. After picking the 6th tulip, she decided that the bouquet was big enough. How many flowers were left growing beside the path?
