Flower Fairy
Often found camouflaged among flowers, Flower Fairies often look similar to the plants they inhabit and may, in the cases of some plants, pick up some behaviours from their plants. For example a fairy inhabiting a Venus Flytrap may be insectivorous rather than herbivorous and may have something of a more snappy nature.
Flower Fairies are one of the better known types of Fairies and, though not seen by muggles, are often seen by wixes, who will, on occasion, kill them for use of their body parts in potions. This has been banned in Germany in order to protect the standing populations of Fae, and some other magical ministries are moving to do the same after recent research has suggested that Flower Fairies may have intelligence akin to a toddler, rather than a cat as believed before.
Flower Fairies, like Common or Garden Fairies, communicate via a high pitched buzzing sound, and can be quite mischievous. If a wix befriends any Flower Fae living in their garden (as the fairies are wont to do), they may well find their plants flourishing, as the native magic of the Flower Fairies feed the plants. One way to ensure a good relationship with Flower fairies is to provide them with small beads or baubles, or to hang wind-chimes, witch balls and crystals around the garden. The pretty sights and sounds often encourage good feeling from the Flower Fairies who, in turn, pour their magic into the plants.
