A Gentle Rain*
* 
Breathe in deeply and relax. You have come to the lake to enjoy a rare and beautiful sight as the water lilies bloom only during rain, and all eight species flower together very rarely. The goal is to place the lake tiles so that all eight lily types bloom before you run out of tiles and the rain ends.
Place each new tile next to an existing one, ensuring that the colors of the touching edges match. Completing a square of four touching stones will cause a flower to bloom between them. Keep score or don't; it's up to you.
