Pretty flower... but it look like artificial flowers (made by plastic)! 39:12

Lovely flowers, but not as funny as the stacking dogs.

Maen - Lovely day here in Wisconsin but the flowers are all gone.

39:20

This will make a nice jigsaw puzzle. Beautiful photo!

Good afternoon to all! Certainly are lilies, but trumpets or orange tigers maybe?

These look like the daylilies that grow wild along the roadsides here in northern Ohio. They are also cultivated and bloom over and over from mid July on - a true perennial.

16:19; beautiful flowers. Sunny and windy outside my window, loads of falling leaves.

Zinos20, is gul Turkish for flower? Would love to read the translation of what you wrote.

Elles sont très belles, les fleurs en la photo auj. Et en plus c'était pas trop difficile!

ok, I figured fleur is flower in French. Didn't realize that today will be a vocabulary enhancement day, my two cents - flower is 'phool' in Hindi.

Didn't bother with the timer knew it would take a while. I think the flowers are Clivia you can get them in a cream colour as well.

I agree I think they are clivia the leaf in the background gives it away really

Hi Everyone,

I've finally gotten around to checking the issue of saving your times. People have reported that the times that are being saved are greater than the time that they actually take.

Well, after solving several puzzles & saving the times, I can't replicate the problem.

If anyone is having this problem, please send me an email & I can try to find out what is causing it.

It's not plastic if you're wondering. It's a type of rare orchid my mom has been growing for several years. It never bloomed before until a few months ago and the flowers were gone days later. Yup...from SK :)

Steve, did you manage to get rid of the 'Observer' idiot?
I think most of us in tough love your proofs. They help us all to try to get better at our solutions.
Good luck to you.

Yes, it's a clivia...an old parlor plant. I've had mine for about 15 years and it blooms at least twice a year.

that was well easy & a good morning to one and all its 6.10am

10:42 who said that was easy? Gosh it was nice to get through to completing all 4 today. I'm happy with that. See Ya ALL. xxxx

Hey Steve from Ohio, I wondered what happened to you,(great to see your back) I was showing the site to a friend earlier this morning and when he asked me about solving the puzzles (yes a vir gin sudokuist) I told him to lookout for you on Hard & Tough - Dont leave us now, whilst I dont even know which way I'm going to attempt solving before I just start doing it, and have absolutely no comprehension of mathmatical things I love what you do. I think it is marvelous!! To have that level of understanding and be so willing to help and share with others the way you do is SIMPLY JUST MARVELOUS! Stay with us and dont wast time on any idiots the rest of us know where your at, were here with you. Great to see your back. Cheers Mate

Fairly simple.
