Patient 12 is set in an office in a Melbourne military hospital, in the years immediately following World War I. The play examines a neglected period of Australia's history through the prism of the kith and kin of those who went to war and either failed to return, or came back physically and/or emotionally scarred.

Paula shares her artistic vision and explains her use of colour, shape, and style to set the mood for any occasion.

Divided into two styles, Classic and Contemporary, these include arrangements that have stood the test of time and become classics, as well as those that are at the cutting edge of flower artistry today. Accompanying text explains what makes each arrangement unique. Using florist bouquets, cut garden flowers, and even vegetables and other items, Paula's instructions allows anyone to create ingenious compositions that will add colour and style to the home.
