Bouquet of Roses
(Published on 27. February 2024, 12:13 by whiterock)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells with the same position within the boxes contain all the numbers 1 to 9. Digits on a stem (palindrome line) read the same forwards and backwards. Numbers on a rose bud (thermometer) strictly increase as they move away from the bulb.
Solution code: Column 4

The disjoint sets constraints is a fresh take I haven't seen in this type of puzzle before. Very nice.

***Note from setter: The sudokupad version uses lighter colors than in the image seen here for better readability! Also, I originally wanted to release this on Valentine's day, but was a bit late and not sure if I even wanted it to release then..., but I am doing now anyway. Hope you enjoy!***
