Claire Waverley, a famous caterer, creates dishes using her mystical plants, which range from nasturtiums that aid in concealing secrets and pansies that make youngsters thoughtful to snapdragons that are meant to deter the attentions of her amorous neighbor. Meanwhile, her old cousin, Evanelle, is known for presenting surprising presents whose functions become uncannily clearThey are the last of t he t he t he t he t
