Dawn inside the orchid house. Fern stands before the luminous ghost Opal and holds up the small brass frame with the pressed blue orchid. Steam rises around them and the east bench is blue with orchids. Opal's face softens as she sees it.

關於本章
The ghost of Opal Renwick, the garden first head gardener who died in Glasshouse 03, asks Fern for one last favour tied to a dried blue orchid she gave away in 1957. Fern search of the ledger, a grave, and an old love letter leads to Ida Thorpe, who kept the pressed blue flower all her life. When Fern shows Opal that the promise was kept, the ghost passes on, leaving a single living orchid. A cozy, melancholy murder-free mystery.
