Puzzle Description:

This is a revisit to puzzle #281, "companion of flowers", originally published on October 8, 2005 by Jay Bee (jaybee). See the first note for more info.

jaybee had only three puzzles (one in 2006 and another in 2007) until reappearing again early this year with a few more submissions. The original puzzle, if registered as a black and white puzzle, would have had no obstructions to solving; the colour basically destroyed solvability of the antennae. What did solve was extremely easy.

I've fixed the antennae and clearly made another attempt at blotting; further, I expanded the puzzle by two columns and added more detail to the blotterfly.

I honestly believe that blotting can be used more often in larger puzzles, so I plan to try blotting more often in the future as a viable option for clues. I did this in a 30x30 earlier today, and this is my second blotterpiece. =)

I enjoy blots very much. This colorful blotterfly was particularly fun! Thanks for working on this, Bryan.

And thanks for the term blotterfly. Cute.

Blotterfly is not an original term. See http://webpbn.com/play.cgi?id=19407 - though I do not know if other comments used it previously.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that one. :) Where is Adam when you need him.
