I saw this puzzle and just knew I had to get it and assemble it. I had one of those experiences where you get excited by a puzzle and then when you start, you panic a little because it's actually harder than you initially thought. I knew this was going to be a harder one but figured there was enough variation in the color and flower shapes to make it not too bad. When I first started sorting the pieces I realized that it was going to be much harder than I thought.
It took me over four days to complete this puzzle. For context, all the previous 1,000-piece puzzles I've tackled were wrapped up in no more than two days. I hit my stride on the third day, especially when my husband briefly joined me. Once I surpassed the 50% completion mark, things really started to flow. Filming, however, presented a few hiccups - erratic lighting due to storms, and during one session, I ran out of memory, losing about 15-20 minutes of footage. It's noticeable, so I thought it worth mentioning.
Surprisingly, I genuinely enjoyed the process of putting this puzzle together. Despite my initial apprehension about its difficulty, I found it to be a fun challenge. My favorite aspect was discovering all the little insects and bugs nestled among the flowers. Being a Galison puzzle, the quality is excellent, with well-fitting pieces and no false fits. The glossy finish did pose a challenge, though. I need to figure out better lighting for puzzles with this finish. Nevertheless, the colors and image looked stunning with that finish, even if it made for a more demanding puzzling experience.
