Re: plant memories

Have you seen the Flower Fairy books by Cicely Mary Barker? She must have done the same kind of thing as a child, and carried on with that kind of imagination as an adult. Perhaps that's part of what we're missing and what makes these memories so powerful.
Great clothes designs - if only somebody would try to make some of them for real! The books I've got don't have fuchsia, but I know I've seen a fuchsia fairy she did somewhere.

Just remembered making tiny little dolls out of the flowers of Fuchsia
magellenica. You remove the pistil and leave just two stamens for legs and
feet, then find a thin little twig and stick it through the "body" to make
stiffly protruding arms. There she is--wearing her beautiful red and purple
dress!
