June FREE RG - RGZ (for solving in the Rows Garden app for iPad/iPhone, Android, and Kindle Fire)

Here's the June FREE RG. This puzzle started with the entry at C2. I enjoyed including the entry at H1, however I initially thought that the first bloom would be impossible to cross. But no! I really like those blooms that look like nonsense at first glance. 

Thanks for all the positive feedback regarding last week's variety cryptic "Night Moves"! I've received over 100 correct answers so far, which definitely exceeded my expectations. The contest is open through Sunday, so if you haven't solved yet, there's still time to get in on the action.  

Happy solving!
