Tiré du site Internet de Corraini: ""It's mother's day, it's father's day, today is spring, it's little brother's first birthday, the next-door neighbour gets married ! Every occasion is good to offer a flower. [...] But what really matters is the love with which a little daisy, a lavender sprig or some moss are chosen, that one there in particular and not that other one." (From the text) The creation of floral arrangements aims to transmit a message through a life (the plant) which is expression of silence. The one who gives and receives a flower should be able to compose and interpret this living silence, that tries to express life through another type of life. It's not meant to be a difficult or intricate purpose, but on the contrary a natural gesture which doesn't need money but love and inventiveness. Munari shows here many examples of such an inventiveness, not to be merely copied but as a suggestion to freely invent many other ones. The series "workshop", which is focused on the imagination and the active involvement of children and adults, includes now a new book."

A fire breathing dragon operated the long drawbridge. The king's pride and joy were his garden, which was visited by people from all over the country. One day another king came to visit and to admire the beautiful flowers. He told King Giardino that he did not have the most beautiful flowers. There was a lady who grew an enchanting flower in her garden which she called "The Love Flower". King Giardino sent his knights to find this "Love Flower." They brought it back and the king had it planted in his garden. He was so impressed with the flower's amazing colors. However, the next morning, when he went to admire his "Love Flower", he found all of its petals on the ground. The king viewed this as a curse and immediately went with his knights to find the lady who was growing these "Love Flowers". They couldn't even find her house, let alone the lady. When they returned to the castle, he found his dragon so sick he could not even breathe fire. He was so upset, he retired to his chamber. Later that night, an angel appeared to him and said, "Look at all your evil ways and realize all the suffering you have caused." That visit from the angel changed King Giardino forever...
