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

Fairydust is sold by Joy Creek Nursery...but that is a newish variety, probably not what your friend is looking for. You might also check the Hull site for listings under 'Princess'. Here is one of them: http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=358 It is difficult to suggest anything when we don't know what variety you are seeking: an atragene? a large flowered hybrid? a viticella?

That is Macie who we lovingly call Macie-Moo. She is a Shih Tzu but she does look a lot like a Tibetan Terrier. Tibetians get up to 25 pounds. Moo weighs in at 10. She was up to almost 12 after spending a week at my moms while I was out of town. Mom couldn't resist that little begging face....and Macie came back looking like a stuffed sausage!! She doesnt mind posing for pictures. Here she is with her 'summer cut' smiling for the camera from her favorite place in the yard....the pond's edge. By the way...couldn't you over-winter a Fairy standard (in a pot) in your garage? Might be worth a try!

Am I correct in thinking you are talking about hand x-stitch or hand embroidery rather than by machine? I am in California, but am originally from England and am still in touch with some of my old school friends. One friend has an adult daughter that is really into cross stitch by hand. If you are interested in emailing me I will try to get some info for you? Use the "My Page" to send the email by my name.... Pat
