Fairy Garden Photos for 2024 🌷🌸🌷

Lets begin the yearly running post of Fairy Garden photos. These are what have bloomed so far...

 Pink Yarrow

Sage

This bunny is smaller than she seems, I named her Punkin because she made her home
in the pumpkin patch... in the strawberries. She has an orange patch on her head

 
Pink Milkweed for the butterflies, they smell just like sweet sugar vanilla mmm

 
orange milkweed

Hot pink yarrow

Bread Poppies

 
Showy Pink Milkweed, truly heavenly scent similar to cotton candy

 
Pink Poppies ...these seeds will be great on muffins ! Cant wait

 
Fresh Chamomile for tea

 
Chamomile flower closeup

 
Another great crinkly poppy. If you do not know, they only bloom for one day and you only have that one chance. They bloom.. the leaves fall into the wind

 
Powder Pink Lavender.. so happy I caught the bumble bee, she was super fast

 
Raspberries for jam cookies to go with the Chamomile tea :O)

 
Oh my, do we have pumpkins... lots, almost enough to make a Cinderella carriage! There are almost 200, no way to photograph them all.
 

Straggling strawberries.. most are in the freezer waiting to become jam...
 
Peach tomatoes, waiting to become mock peach pie :O)

 
The first of the Lime Queen Zinnias!

 
Two little butterflies enjoying the Lavender

Hot Pink Zinnia

 My little deer friend.. as long as she stays away from the garden :O)
 



Pink Paradise Morning Glory

 
Cherry Impatens blossoms... collecting for a nice flower jam
 

Pink Rose Hibiscus, I grew her from a seed three years ago... this is her first bloom
Giant White Cherry Hibiscus
 

Pumpkin Blossom

An interesting random Zinnia variety. I have no idea how this got into my seeds, possibly from my mom in Kentucky.. but its pretty 

Some White Moth caterpillars munching down the butterfly bush... the one that tastes like cotton candy
they must be in heaven :O)
Really excited to see my teacup sunflowers coming up. I have been trying to breed the smallest sunflower. I have had some half this size, but these have survived.
 
 Golden centered sunflower

Beautiful Sunset Bloom
Wedding Cosmos that I snagged from a local farm that hosts weddings.. This is a huge giant variety

Another great Pink Paradise Morning Glory

More great sunflowers..



And so excited to finally see REAL Monarch Butterflies in the garden. It seems I have had every other butterfly but the ones we want to save. And here they are .. all over the butterfly bush. Apparently they prefer the vanilla scented one over cotton candy. Good to know!

It looks like we are nearing the end of the garden this year.. here are a few shots that may be the last.
The butterflies and canaries are super happy... so are the fairies

to be continued.... maybe :O)
