“The castle had a beautiful, magic garden. The garden was filled with roses, hydrangeas, orchids, tulips, violets, irises, lotus, lily of the valley, sunflowers, and many other types of flowers. In addition, there were many flowering trees; a special one was the cherry tree. At springtime the cherry trees would bloom with little white and pink flowers. His majesty loved springtime. The garden looked like a magic painter designed a masterpiece of flowers.”

The author never tires of his love for children. He views them as beautiful flowers that are always blossoming. “The pristine love of children elicited in our hearts is the ultimate meaning of our lives. There is no greater joy for any parent than the first smile of their child.”
“The Love Flower” begins in Ireland. There was a mighty, evil king named Giardino who ruled everyone by cracking a whip. He lived in a castle surrounded by a moat. A fire-breathing dragon operated the long drawbridge. The king’s pride and joy were his gardens, which were visited by people from all over the country.
One day another king came to visit and 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 that he could not even breathe fire. He was so upset that 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.
