{"title":"Flowers \u0026 Gardens","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers are one of the most requested subjects in puzzling, and one of the most demanding to build. A bed of blooms gives you colour everywhere and structure almost nowhere, so you work by shade and petal edge rather than by landmarks. That is exactly why floral puzzles suit people who have started to find landscapes too easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection covers the whole botanical range: formal Japanese gardens, English cottage gardens in full summer, potting sheds and garden kitchens, floral still life, and fine-art florals including Van Gogh.

The\nballoon climbed around 600 metres, stayed up eight minutes and came down three and a half\nkilometres away. All three animals were found alive.
