The Fairy Babies of the Peonies

Long ago, before anyone could remember, the fairies chose the peony to be the safest cradle in the forest.

Each spring, when the first buds begin to swell, fairy mothers gently tuck their tiny babies inside the waiting blossoms. The petals wrap around them like a soft blanket, protecting them from rain, wind, and curious eyes.

As the little fairy grows, the flower grows too.

Day by day the petals slowly open, making just enough room for the baby nestled inside. By the time the peony blooms in all its beauty, the young fairy is ready to wake and begin its first adventure among the flowers, butterflies, and singing birds.

So if you ever see a peony opening on a warm spring morning, look closely.

You may have just missed a fairy's very first flight.
