Immortelles: a name given by the french to those Flowers which from their papery nature do not wither on dying, known in this country as "everlasting flowers".
"The Immortelle requires no attention: you just hang it up, and there you are; just leave it alone, it will take care of your grief for you, and keep in mind...better than you can;stands weather first-rate, and lasts like boiler-iron."
"Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi"
