Flowers in Formaldehyde is the second EP by darkwave band Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, and was released in 2004 as a companion to the album La Chambre D'Echo - Where the Dead Birds sing. Only 2,000 CDs and 700 LPs were pressed.

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.
