        Overview

        Mr Butterfly is looking for a wife amongst the flowers. He attempts to woo each one, although his pickiness gets the best of him. Frustrated with his unluckiness he leaves every flower in disgust, for he thinks they are unable to match his shallow ideal of what a wife should be.
