Comments (3)Hope I did this right.Here is the link for the picture of the fairy house. There is another link to the creators website, with more fairy houses on the HGTV-Carol Duvall-Fairy Houses show page....See MoreDo Children Naturally Bring Gifts To Your Fairie Door?
Comments (9)A couple of years ago, 8 of my grandkids were here. They made a home for fairies under a big maple tree...putting food out for them, and even setting a small margarine container out filled with water for the fairies to bathe in. That night, the fairies came and ate and bathed. We noticed the next morning...the food was gone, the bathwater had been dumped out, and they had left many telltale signs of having been there. The kids were so excited!! I have little fairies all through my house...on light switch-plates, on the sides and doors of armoires, sitting above pictures, hiding in the flowered wall paper in the master-bathroom, etc., and have stenciled "Fairies & Kitties live here" on the wall in the entry hall. I love whimsical things...and so do the grandkids! I need a fairie door!! ~Sandy~...See MoreFairy Garden Photos
Comments (33)I read a newspaper article (please don't ask when or where...memory eludes me CRS) some time ago about a man who put a door in a tree along a public walk. Children were encouraged to put messages in it for the fairy. The man retrieved any messages every night and answered and returned them to the tree. His wife said that some messages were sad and that was hard to read but even then an answer from a fairy helped. Doesn't that sound really sweet to do? And time in the evenings to answer?...See MoreFairy Ring
Comments (12)I believe the hosta to be plantagenia- It is more yellow than the grass- which my 'Royal Standard' seems to be a closer match of green while plantagenia stays a more chartreuse shade of grass green. I have seen this happen with a couple of my older plantagenia through the years. One I left to see just what would happen. It steadily and rapidly declined in about 4 years till I had 3 little tiny single eyed plants left. I moved those 3 from their home- actually less than a foot away last year- but those single eyes although still VERY small for plantagenia have become larger already this year. This leads me to believe that if left to sit complacently in decline- decline it will into oblivion. I did notice this behavior with a "Royal Standard' which I use to cover a drain with its large diameter and my 'Guacamole' this spring. I will lift and divide the Royal Standard this fall- which I think will kick in the survival instinct and spur renewed growth- and I did not wait with Guac- it is so nice and large- I lifted half and divided and shared some this spring- and will see if that was enough to shock it into growth. If I do not see renewed vigor in next years growth- I will split up the other half and replant it after amending the soil a bit. This happened with a 'Striptease' in a neighbors bed- he waited 2 years after noticing the ring to do lift and divide this spring- He was left with very little from his large showy hosta, but there was enough to share a bit with me- as I had lost my rather LARGE showy 'Striptease' to HVX last year. To me, the fairy rings are a great reminder that even hosta need a little "stimulation" and "action" every once in a while- and supply the perfect reason to share your lovelies....See MoreSewcute
