Normal sudoku rules apply.
Grafted Cuts: Cells marked with an unclued single-cell cage are cuttings from the same stock. Exactly three digits appear among all marked cells, each used two or more times.
Buttercup Arrows: Digits along an orange arrow sum to the digit in its Buttercup circle.
Parity: Adjacent digits along a red line alternate between odd and even.
Flowermeter: Digits on a flowermeter increase from the flower end.
Hyacinth Whisper: Adjacent digits along a thick violet line differ by at least 5.
Ripple Cells: A ripple cell shows how many of its orthogonal neighbors are consecutive with it (differ by 1 from the ripple cell's own digit). The icon indicates this count, with a small number for clarity. The count is exact: every other orthogonal neighbor is not consecutive with it.

O Sweet William stands in the garden like a young lad at the kirkyard gate,
bright‑cheeked and bonny, with a hundred small pennants fluttering in the breeze.
There is a gallant air about him, as though he were dressed for some midsummer
revel, each petal a tartan scrap stitched by the hand of the hills. And when the wind
comes down the glen, he nods as if to say he keeps old loyalties yet, faithful as any
clansman to the color he wears.
Solution code: Box 8, from left to right, top to bottom. All 9 digits.

A lovely puzzle! This was my first introduction to Ripple Cells, and I think they complimented the puzzle rather well. Thanks for the fun!
