Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Flower of Forgiveness "Surely this is very rare?" I remarked, as looking through a herbarium of Himalayan plants belonging to a friend of mine, I came upon a small anemone which, contrary to the custom of that most delicate of flowers, had presented its colour in all its first freshness. Indeed, the scarlet petals, each bearing a distinct, heart-shaped blotch of white in the centre, could scarcely have glowed more brilliantly in life than they did in death. "Very rare," returned the owner after a pause; "I have reason to believe it unique - so far as collections go, at any rate." "I see you have called it Remissionensis. What induced you to give it such an odd name?" He smiled. "Dog Latin, I acknowledge. As for the reason - can you not guess?" "Well," I replied, looking closer at the white and red flowers, "I have not your vivid imagination, but I presume it was in allusion to sins as scarlet, and hearts white as wool.
