Have you tried looking up the Latin bits online with a plant database? Old handwriting can be a real headache, my aunt has letters from my great-grandmother that are just impossible to decipher. Maybe take a clear photo of a page and post it on a subreddit for gardeners or handwriting help, those folks love a puzzle. It sounds like a cool find though, like a little piece of someone's hobby lost in a bin.

Did your friend consider that the problem might be your bathroom lighting and not the paper itself? That busy floral pattern needs warm, soft light to feel cozy instead of overwhelming. Try it with some vintage amber bulbs before you decide to scrap it, because good vintage wallpaper has a depth you just don't get with new stuff.

Oh, collecting those weird mislabeled downloads as art! I actually saved a bunch of messed up movie clips from early streaming days. It worked for me because I loved the surprise of finding a comedy scene labeled as drama. I sorted them into a folder called "digital accidents" and it felt like curating my own exhibit!
