FLOWERS AND THEIR FAERIES

Remember that most flower faeries will reveal themselves in the colors of the flowers itself. The flowers I have chosen to use in this section are ones that are most commonly found and are the most accessible. There is a vast variety of flowers and each has its own faeries and energies.
      Many healing energies, properties and symbolic significances of flowers are the result of faerie activity.
