Flower Fairies
Welcome...to the unique collection of Flower Fairy collectibles. This collection is based on the art of Cicely Mary Barker and demonstrates that artistry is a fundamental component of scientific illustration. Eminent natural scientists rely on their ability to accurately render images of their subjects of study.
Although Cicely Mary Barker passed away in 1973, but her renowned watercolor illustrations of flower fairies are as timeless as when they were first published in 1923. Her flower fairies are extremely detailed and accurate botanical artworks. Each fairy has a pair of butterfly-like wings and a costume which precisely represents the associated flower. The wing illustrations alone compare with the best entomological artwork ever created. Poetic songs included with each flower fairy illustration reveal the flower's habitat, life-cycle, natural history and other characteristics.
Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies have been brought to life in these precious figures. The charming hand-painted 4" tall ornaments are licensed replicas made from polystone. Flower fairies are a special gift that all ages enjoy collecting. Watch for each new series as it is released.

Tadpoles feed on algae and other vegetation. If you want to raise tadpoles, they particularly like boiled lettuce. Also, make sure that you have an end of the tank that has solid ground (especially moist leaf matter) where the tadpoles may go when they become frogs. There are tadpoles that have only a slit for a mouth with no feeding parts - these tadpoles live on yolk held inside their bodies.
