Right now, all 12 of the outside puzzles can be solved by themselves. I'd love to take a number out here and there to make them non-solveable on their own, but I'm too scared to remove numbers.
Like I said, you might have to create nine additional puzzles for the center boxes of the flower in order to be able to remove any more clues in the first 12. Have you run those 12 through the "Optimize" option (under "Extra") in Sudocue?

For the disjoint groups in puzzle #1, yes it's in positions. It's just all 9 positions are an extra group. Would you prefer I color each of the 9 groups?
I can do that, if you like. It would have made the groups more apparent to me. (I have seen disjoint group puzzles with the colors in other patterns, even randomly arranged, within the boxes, also.)

For puzzle #7 triplets, all three of the shaded boxes have exactly the same sequence of numbers. Does that make sense?
So the solutions to those three boxes are identical? Hmmm. . . I've never seen one of those before. Interesting!

I'll have to see where I lost a row in the flower
Look at spreadsheet rows 57-86 on the worksheet named "Puzzles". Columns 5, 6, and 7 of the flower puzzle and columns 7, 8, and 9 of the flower solution are missing. No matter--now that I know it's supposed to be the same as on the worksheets named "Solutions" and "The Core", I'll just fix it.
