Sort of a short biographical account of a British Hotel worker who, with some friends, decided to try and see the Princess at some of her public appearances. Over time he managed to see her more and more, became well known to the Princess and became a friend of hers. He often brought her flowers, that's the title part, but sometimes other gifts, and describes this as well as some of the many times he met Diana. I thought it was an interesting little book, chatty but different, lots of pictures almost all taken by Mr. Jackman.

I think when I ordered the CD-ROM it was more available than the paperback, now the reverse is true, I'd rather have it in paperform. Amazon doesn't give any PC requirements, which made me nervous, but I was relieved to find that it is Macintosh, Windows or Unix compatible- you also need a sound card (for a song on the disc- I didn't listen to it)and a Java-enabled browser. I put the thing in my CD-ROM drive and it started right up,didn't install anything that I saw, no problems. I use America Online, that started up like I was going to be put online but it just opened the book up,easy to operate when you get it there. If you don't have AOL or something like that would Internet Explorer work it? I don't know, and wish more information was provided.

The book says that included are, "exclusive never-before-published photographs of Princess Diana." The only pictures included are on the front and back cover of the book. I don't think that's what was meant or is it? The order is incomplete as far as I'm concerned as I specifically bought this for the pictures first. Melanie Fundanish
