Well, this was a pretty good one. We did get five people to solve it but not all at one time. It took a little while. Incidently, I accidentally deleted the emails that said what this building with the flower on it actually was… someone said something about “Riverwalk”? Please comment if you know. I remember it was in San Antonio, TX though. Also I think Mike Z., who submitted the clue, said the flower was actually visible from another building if you climb to the top and look down.

The building is the La Villita Assembly Hall in downtown San Antonio, TX. La Villita is a historic arts district just a couple blocks away from the Alamo and Riverwalk. To the east of La Villita is the Tower of the Americas which is similar to Seattle’s Space Needle. Because of the close proximity of La Villita, it’s very easy to see the giant flower from the observation deck of the Tower. That’s why I thought that Texans might have an advantage — anyone who’s been up in the Tower has easily seen that flower.
