In the orchid house, Fern and the ghost Opal stand face to face. Fern in her moss apron; Opal translucent and luminous, holding the dried orchid stem with its single paper-dry blue bloom. Warm amber light gathers around them, and the blue blooms of the house crowd in close.

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.
