Nice work, Rayna! I am not an expert but I wonder if one way to refine this would be to list your Flowers with purple/not purple petals under the Flowers with Petals column (B)?
Otherwise I think I would be able to narrow it down quite easily. Cheers! Shellie

Yes, I considered that. I went with the format that Steffi had in the video. Otherwise, I think your way is easier to follow.
