'''Flower Sudoku''' is a member of the [[Gattai]] family of [[Sudoku Variant]s. The format was designed by ''udosuk''.

Although it is possible to have a Flower Sudoku with only 4 constituent [[Sudoku]]s, the most common format has '''5''' constituent Sudokus, creating a dense overlapping region in the center.

The overlapping Sudokus are arranged like this:

Because there are many places where 2 aligned boxes overlap, this type of puzzle often allows you to use the [[Twin Nonets]] technique, a [[solving technique]] that can only be used in Gattai puzzles.
== Example ==
Flower Sudokus do not need any [[given]]s in the overlapping regions. When you try to solve this puzzle, remember that there is a 5th Sudoku in the center.
