Originally announced as The Adventures of Ms Penny Dreadful, Flowers featured four new songs, two instrumentals of songs from La Chambre D'Echo and an extensive remix of "Do you know my Name ?" from Sopor Aeternus' first album, Ich töte mich.... The first half of the EP remains some of Sopor Aeternus' most pop-oriented work yet.

Flowers in Formaldehyde was re-issued the following year as part of the rarities box set Like a Corpse Standing in Desperation.
