Interst One ,what is this plant??
Nice time everyone.

Very pretty - Does anyone know what this is?

A path to solve this one
Start at 23
1- Basic techniques UP 24 (note : pairs 18=gh5, 26=ci5, 79=ab5)
2- g7=4==g7=3 - (pair 73 at ab7 == pair 56 at bc7) - bc9=5==h9=5 - h9=4==f9=4 => e7<>4, UP 25

Above chain can simple explanation as :
a/ g7=4 => e7<>4
b/ More...

Maybe other way better after UP24 (as ALS):
(Triple 349 at dfh9 == h9=5) - (hi8=5 == triple 236 at ghi8) => df8<>3, UP 81

Explanation :
a/ Triple 349 at dfh9 => df8<>3
b/ h9=5 => hi8<>5 => triple 236 at ghi8 => df8<>3

from UP 24:
Variation on ttt's elimination of 4 at e7 using ALS (2356)at ghi8:

2. (4=3)g7 - (3)gi8 = (triple 256)ghi8 - (5)e8 = (5)e7, => e7 <> 4. UP 25.
then-
3. y-wing style: (9=5)e7 -(5)e8 = (5)hi(8) - (5=9)h9, =>d9, h7<>9. UP 81.

ttt-
oops, you beat me to the post.

I thought it was a spider when it first changed!
(A very colorful spider!)

Didn't use the timer, but this took a looong time!

Sue's Peruvian or spider lily.

IO thought it was a spider orchid and after reading your comments find it to be a spider lily. So beautiful

Hi Dave (from Minnesota),

Thanks! Steve is busy for bigger things of Sudoku, but here sometime need help (even me)...
I found other way for my step 2 better my first post :
(2)- g7=4==g7=3 - hi8=3==df8=3 - (pair 39 at df9 == f9=4) => e7<>4, UP 25

Kathy, I stopped timing mine!
Creepy flower.
