First of all thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! I'll address your gripes below in reverse order (should make sense why once you read them).

It would appear you have found a glitch/error in one of the puzzles, specifically the one on the right in your screenshot. I will explain the rule of the flowers below so anyone reading this who wants to go in and play it first stop reading now! You've been warned...

The flowers represent which of the tiles diagonally should have 1 piece of grass and which should have 0 pieces of grass on. The flowers in the left puzzle indicate that the central tile should have no grass and all the others should have 1 piece.  That means that the puzzle in question should be solved like it is below. This issue is this puzzle seems to only be checking how many tiles have 0 grass on and not where they are located on the puzzle! So your solution works as it has the correct 12 tiles with 0 grass on but the flower rule is essentially being ignored by the game! I will get this resolved and ready to push up once the jam deadline has ended!

Now the flower rule has been explained. I created the mole puzzles before the flower puzzles and only added the latter in right at the end of the jam. I therefore decided to add the flower into any previous puzzle that featured grass tiles with 0 pieces of grass on, essentially just to keep the rules consistent across the whole game. I never considered that someone would see these earlier and believe that they were a puzzle mechanic so thanks for pointing that out. The hope was that you'd just think they were flowers but then once you got to the flower section you'd remember seeing them and realise then. The intention was that those final two mole puzzles are solvable without needing to understand or interact with the flowers. I realise now that's one of those things obvious to me as I built the game but not to a player so thanks for pointing that out!
