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.

Did you know that some of the moons in our Solar System are larger than some of the planets? Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System, and Saturn's moon Titan are both larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto. The Earth's Moon, Jupiter's moons Callisto, Io, and Europa, and Neptune's moon Triton are all larger than Pluto, but smaller than Mercury. Recent discoveries show that hundreds, and possibly, thousands of moon-size bodies exist beyond the orbit of Pluto. Large planet-like bodies such as Mercury and the Earth may be the exception in a solar system dominated by smaller moon and asteroid-like objects.
