OMG yes I remember those!!! I used to get them from a corner toyshop in Exeter. Sold on a stand along with Sea Monkeys, Jumping beans, Clicking Crocs and whistles you filled with water!

Hi I just came home with 5 of these little shells inside a bag of old shells ~ I didn't know what they were and asked my husband which brought us to you in our search I wanted to open them but I am glad I listened to my husband and read up on them first Get back to me if you are interested Thanks- Deb.

I remember the flowers in the shells.Can't remember now where they came from but didn't they emerge from the shell attached to a piece of line so they floated?.Long time ago.I bet my niece would love to see these flowers emerge from the shells.

I spent yesterday in chinatown (London) being looked at as though I were insane asking for those - guess they're an artifact of my childhood (in San Francisco). I'd LOVE them - how much do you want for them??? Erica

I just joined because I was looking for these too. The ones we used to get came in a little paper packet and looked a bit like the round ones in lli173's picture above. I remember them being two colours each, like red and yellow and black and white.

Re: Japanese Water Flowers made of paper

I have also been searching for these and after reading this thread and realising they are Japanese, I think I may have found them! Try the www.etsy.com They've sold out at the moment but worth a try in the future!
