Happy Sunday.
No fancy preamble here (and no pesky asterisks), just thanks to
@Abide and
@Wendy Walker for test solving, and for some suggestions to dilute a few of the hard clues.
And of course thanks to
@Joe Ross for tech support.
The meta answer is a two-word phrase.
Catch 11 crosshare
Catch 11 PUZ
Catch 11 PDF
Catch 11 spreadsheet
Nudges later today, if needed. And I am of course always available via PM for additional help. Reveal on Saturday.
Hope you enjoy!
cheers,
Alan

To @Abide , @Wendy Walker, @ajk and the other constructors for the SSS, now that we are into September, are we going to continue with something like:
AAA - Autumn Additional somethings that begin with A
or
FFF - Fall Festival somethings that begins with F

Lots of fun with this grid and meta.
Can you catch all 11 red peonies here?

Sssolved on a lazy Sssunday morning.
Almost got myself in a 12-down and feared I was missing a step, but ironically I’d messed up 26-across lol.
Thanks Alan!
