Morning in the orchid house. Fern repots a small blue orchid into fresh compost with the notched trowel on the staging bench, the brass can close by. In the doorway a tall bearded man in a green waxed jacket, Wren Holloway, watches, warm and easy.

关于本章
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.
