If you squint, you might be able to see letters in the reflections of some of the dew drops. Those will help get you started.
In this puzzle, the adventure begins just after 12 o'clock and the direction of movement is always clockwise, but the words alternate between reading inward and reading outward.
Starting at the tip of the petal just after 12 o'clock, you should see the word PRICETAG heading inward and doing a dogleg bend down the crease at 1 o'clock.
Then, proceeding from there and read outward to the tip of the next petal (always tending in a clockwise direction around the flower) you should see the word GATEKEEPER.
Notice that you're always using the last few letters of the previous word (but in reverse) to form the first few letters of the next word.
The next word reads inward again, beginning with the four letters R-E-P-E and then four more letters down the 2 o'clock crease. You must complete the word by filling in those last four letters. So, you're looking for a word that looks like REPE _ _ _ _.
Keep going around this way, filling in 17 more words. The 17th word looks like _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ATOR.
The final two words, ROTAVIRUS and SURINAMESE are already filled in.
BTW, don't worry if the words ROTAVIRUS and SURINAMESE seem unfamiliar. All the words that you must fill in are much more well-known.
