Rose's Garden
Merry Meet, I am Rose, the guardian faery of all the plants and flowers on this page. I watch over everything so well Marja decided to let me tell you all I know of plants and flowers, I hope you find this information useful, as it is very helpful when trying to spot us.
Alder
is protected by water spiritsToadstools
sometimes have poisonous hallucinogenic properties. The Vikings ate it and gained their reputations as berkerkers. In Celtic lore, they are among the food of the gods, as with many red plants. Some toadstools associated with faeries are Fly Agaric, Yellow Fairy Club, Slender Elf Cap, Dune Pixie-Hood, and Dryad's SaddleApples
to ensure a good harvest, leave the last apple of your crop for the Apple-Tree-ManAsh
Druids wands were made of ash twigs. It also has healing properties. Weak-limbed children were passed through split ash trees which were then bound up. If the tree grew straight, the child would too. Also may be used as a substitute for Rowan.Fairy Ring Mushroom
Marks the boundaries of Faerie ringsFoxglove
Name is derived from "Little Folks' Glove". Florets are worn by Faeries as hats and gloves.Ragwort
is used as makeshift horses by the Faerie.Cowslips
are loved and protected by the Faeries. They help one to find hidden Fey gold.Primroses
make the invisible visible. Eating them lets you see Faeries. If one touches a Faerie rock with the correct number of primroses in a posy, the way to Faerieland and Faerie gifts is made clear. The wrong number means bad things will come.Wild thyme
is part of a recipe for a brew to make one see the Faeries. The tops of the Wild Thyme must be gathered near the side of a Faerie hill.Bluebell
one who hears a bluebell ring will soon die. A field of bluebells is especially dangerous, as it is intricately interwoven with Faerie enchantments.Clover
a four leaf clover may be used to break a Faerie spellHazel
Celtic legend says it is the receptacle of knowledge, the hazelnut is a symbol of fertility in England.Rowan
protects against bad spirits. Used in butter churns so that the butter would not be overlooked by Faeries. Bewitched horses may be controlled by a Rowan whip. Druids used rowan wood for fires with which they called up spirits whom could be forced to answer questions when rowanberries were spread over the flayed hides of bulls.Buckthorn
Made from bark, aids liver congestion, helps to carry blood and liver toxins from the body. Good for gall stones, lead poisoning.Oak
Oakmen are created when a felled oak stump sends up shoots. One should never take food offered by them because it is poisonous.Elder

Cleanses and tones entire alimentary canal (tract that food passes through from ingestion to elimination), excellent astrngent. Good for external and internal hemorrhage.Willow
At night they uproot themselves and stalk travelers, muttering at them.
