Wherever and whenever a seed sprouts, a Flower Fairy baby is born. From snow drops to blackthorns, lilacs to weeping willows, each fairy is responsible for looking after their own plant and keeping it strong and healthy for years to come.

“I’m everyone’s darling: the blackbird and starling
Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs;
For I, the Lent Lily, the Daffy-down-dilly,
Have heard through the country the call to arouse.”

Hundreds of them are smiling up,
Each with a flame in its shining cup..

The Crab Apple is the most ancient of English trees. According to lore if you throw its pips into the fire while chanting the name of your beloved, they will explode if your love is true & lasting. Image: Cicely Mary Barker

Deep sleeps the Winter,
Cold, wet and grey;
Surely all the world is dead;
Spring is far away.
Wait! the world shall waken;
It is not dead, for lo,
The Fair Maids of February
Stand in the snow!
