so beautiful some flowers ???

Hi, everyone~

Recently I have been struggling with the adverb 'so'. I have learned like below about it.

I saw so beautiful a flower. (O)
I saw a so beautiful flower. (X)
I saw such a beautiful flower. (O)
I saw so beautiful flowers. (X)
I saw such beautiful flowers. (O)

After hearing of these, I have got a question if the follwing is possible or not.

1.She gave me so beautiful some flowers.
2.She gave me so beautiful the/her flowers.
3.She gave me such her beautiful flowers.

As to #1 and #2 I have no idea. (#2 seems to more likely to be wrong somehow.) For #3, I picked up on the internet such phrase as 'such her anger', but #3 above has a adjective addtionally.
They puzzle me so much. Emotion: sad

Many thanks in advance
