Cant help you with finding that plant, but I know a few fairy plants. Epimedium is sometimes called 'Fairies Wings' and theres and Erigeron (Fleabane) called 'Azure Fairy'. I also have a really pretty pink daylily called 'Playful Pixie' from Gilbert H. Wild. Theres also a rose called 'The Fairy' if I remember right. CMK

Nancy, Yes you can take petunia cuttings. I read somewhere many years ago that a couple of gardeners planted many white petunias every year. On this one particular year for some reason they lost a lot of their seedlings and were unable to find more seed of the same white variety. He and his wife were about to give up when he came up with the idea of taking cuttings. It saved the garden for them that year and they did cuttings every year after that. After I read that, I started taking cuttings from the spreading petunias. I have not taken cuttings from the regular petunias because I usually have so many, I toss many seedlings after I transplant the ones I want to keep. The white petunia story above was regular white petunias...so I am sure it will work. Just be prepared for not having every cutting take...chances are some will fail, but if you take a few extra cuttings you will have lots. BTW I had a look at Butchard's website and the only petunias they have listed are Petuna Solanaceae mix colors, multiflora petunia. They get 12 - 15 inches tall. I am guessing that is also what was in your mix. The schizanthus they had listed was Angel wings....this is one that I have also grown. Schizanthus does last a long time for me...It pretty much makes it into mid or maybe end of Aug...if it doesn't get hit with frost. It won't take frost. Remember I don't get hot weather here like you do there....I also don't get any humidity. They are a very pretty flower and worth growing....plant your baskets extra full so if they fade early for you, other plants will spill over and fill the space. Take notes so you can remember what worked for you and what doesn't....for next year when you do this all again. lol Sierra

Making wings with wire (or coat hangers) and pantyhose is really simple, pretty easy, and very cheap. I've run a couple of group wing-making activities with this method for both middle schoolers and college students. The following is a quick write-up of the method for someone who had seen wings made this way: You need a spool of wire about coat hanger-sized (not sure of the actual gauge), 2 or 3 pairs of colored knee-highs or pantyhose (or white ones and RIT dye), some fine wire or heavy string, and wire snips. Pliers can also be really helpful. Dye the hose, if desired. Cut the wire into lengths about a yard long. Bend it into the shapes you want. Leave a short length (3-4 in.) on both ends to twist together so the shapes will stay closed and so you have something to bind together at the end. When making shapes, convex curves are best, since hose tend not to like to cling right to concave ones. You can make two mirror-image pieces for simple pixie wings, or two pairs of mirror-image pieces for more butterfly-like wings, or whatever else you can imagine. If you're using pantyhose, cut the legs off and just use them. Stretch the hose to cover the wire frames, one leg per shape, with the toe at the outermost point of the wing and the opening at the twisted-together wire. Arrange all the pieces as you want them to go together, holding all the twisty bits together. Wrap back and forth around the center several times with fine wire or heavy string. Wrap any excess fabric from the wing-pieces around the center. Take the legs from the remaining pair of hose and tie both ends of each onto the center, making two loops that you'll put your arms through like a backpack. Embellish as desired. The process can be tricky, and it can take some trial and error to get everything to go together and hang right. An extra pair of hands can be helpful. I've developed this method through a lot of wrestling with nylon and wire and on-the-fly problem solving. If along the way you find some way to improve it, I'd love to hear about it Let me know if you have any questions. ~Bouche

Luvs, thanks. I keep playing with idea of selling them, but am not sure I want to start such a large commitment and get tired before there would be enough to pay for the rental space. But.... I have so many ideas swimming in my head and certainly don't need more than the 6 or so that I have already made. Sooooo. I told DH that I would make them if he would sell them, he politely changed the subject. LOL I sure do appreciated all the hard work and creativity you put into your works of art. Also your prices seem very reasonable, I thought the tool box would be more like $90.00. Thanks for sharing. Joan
