Puzzle Description:

My variegated hosta.

#1: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Aug 6, 2011 [SPOILER]

i have them also, Aldege... they give off tiny flowers twice every summer

I love the little flowers,some of my hosta's have white flowers,and some have a purplish blue flower.Mine are huge and they put on a beautiful show.I've always loved this plant.

I thought this was extremely tough to solve, nearly gave up. I know next to nothing about plants, I usually manage to kill them.

I don't know much about them either but i give them water every other day and some Miracle Grow plant food once a month and they seem to do o.k. Weeding is the worst and hardest part.

Aldege, in the spring you can use a shovel and cut each plant when it starts (the little green pointy things) cutting them up in half and re-plant the new half...and it'll grow up that very year and give off flowers.

i've done that many times Tom,i started with 2 plants and now i have 10.

do your hostas acquire snails?

yes,lots

we had a marriage of snails last week on mine

Wonderful puzzle. It was a bit challenging to solve, in a good way, and was very satisfying to see the nice image when I was done. I enjoy this level of challenge on a small puzzle.

rofl Tom,thank you Teresa.

We have a lot of them. They deal with the hot summers well as long as they are in the shade.

You can split them in spring or fall.

Great puzzle, thanks for sharing it.

Thx Avgvstvs.

I don't have any hints as how to solve this one. I have only seen the purplish flowers in the ones around my house, but I don't have any of those.

Most challenging puzzle I've done yet (completed a little over 300). I had to leave and come back to it 4 times over 3 days before I could solve it; the 4th time was the charm - it clicked into place within minutes, although I had completed around 75% by then! Excellent work by Aldege - I've enjoyed all Aldege's puzzles to date.

fun solve, Al!

After a bunch of color logic, I noticed the green 2s in c10/c11 and r15/r19 had to fit in one or the other. That put a dot in c10r20, and a lot of things unfolded from there. Very tough puzzle and a nice image!

Always fun to find another Aldege puzzle I haven’t solved yet. They are always great. I always feel like a learn new puzzle solving skills doing them. Thanks Aldege

These have been one of my favorite landscaping flowers for a long time. There are so many different ones, it is amazing.
