I Have Never Seen a Fairy

by Cicily Mary Barker

I have drawn all the plants and flowers carefully, from real ones, but I have never seen a fairy...  

 

 

Note: Barker loved wildflowers, but she didn't believe in fairies. Barker wrote the quote above in the foreword to Flower Fairies of the Wayside.

Today's Garden words were featured on the podcast:

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
