Summer Sparklers III: The Puzzlers

Yes, I'm still hooked on my puzzles. I love it when the cruciverbalist surprises me by using an unconventional shape or modifying the rules, such as giving me all the words but no clues, and I have to figure out how to fit the words together based solely on how many letters they have.

Surprise, it's a flower!

A diagonal crossword?!

Nope, not a crossword at all. It's plaid.

Sometimes, I get really stuck on a clue. Most of these head-scratchers are either names of European rivers or former public figures. But sometimes its just a simple word and solving the clues around it only gives me what appears to be a random slew of letters that can't make any word at all. Those are the puzzles I can't finish...until I peek in the back. 

Here are some of those "puzzlers:"

Ogee - a double curve, like the shape of an "S;" or a pointed arch made from two "S's."

Dele - to delete, or the act of deleting. (I looked it up, it's a genuine word, pronounced DEE-lee, mostly used by editors. Don't ask me how it's any shorter to say "delete" without a "t," especially in conjugation, but that's why they're the editors, and I'm a mere writer.)

Lanai - a porch. (The word is Hawaiian, but has been conscripted into everyday use.)

Edema - a surface swelling of plants. (Not to be confused with turgor pressure, which is what I tried to fill into the puzzle. It had too many letters.)
