Puzzle: Not a completely trivial puzzle to do as the flower regions contain small similar details across a large part of the puzzle. The cacti are easiest to do as they provide vertical guides for the top of the puzzle, and the purple backdrop can be filled in easily. For the flowers, tackling the top area among the cacti is easiest, followed by the regions of similar colour: yellow flowers and darker patch in the bottom right corner. The rest of the flowers are a matter of patiently filling things in. The pieces are good quality and fit together well.

How do I find this puzzle – or any of the others? Wild flowers by Tim Fitzharris?
I got this puzzle a few years ago at Zellers (while Zellers still existed in Canada). I haven’t seen it afterwards. A quick search online yields this one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171409947920?rmvSB=true
