Flower Fairies were produced 1983-89 by Hornby. They were a series of 7 inches dolls with little petal outfits and wings that fitted into their backs, inspired by Cicely Mary Barker's drawings.

Along with the fairy dolls there were pixie dolls, fashion sets, animal friends and playsets.

There were three Deluxe Flower Fairies produced at first, I'm not sure what makes them deluxe as the only noticable difference is the flower tipped staff thay all came with!

• English Rose
• Fumitory
• Hazelnut

These four had their clothes sold seperatly as Deluxe Costumes. Poppy's box doesn't state she is a Deluxe Fairy, so maybe they weren't sold as such. I also don't yet know if the other three were also sold as dolls or just costumes.

• Fuchsia
• Poppy
• Rosebay Willowherb
• Stork's Bill

There were five fairy & pixie sets, which were also available individually. Christmas Tree, Narcissus and Sweet Pea remained unchanged from their original release (see above for images), making there only two new fairies in this set. See Pixies page for their images.

• Narcissus & Ground Ivy Pixie
• Sweet Pea & Strawberry Pixie

The two new dolls:

There were twelve Magic Flower Fairies produced, each one came with a glow-in-the-dark accessories (crown, wand/staff, brush and mirror). They were also all sold previously without the glow-in-the-dark accessories, their clothes didn't differ. I have so far confirmed six of the twelve dolls which were produced as Magic Flower Fairies:

• Christmas Tree
• Daisy
• Orchid
• Plum
• Red Clover
• Snowdrop

Christmas Tree	Plum

There was one mail order fairy produced, available after collecting enough tokens from packaging.

There were three Magical Mist Fairies produced (possible sold in both blond and brunette). They each came with a small bottle of Magic Mist (water), which when sprayed onto the fairies dresses made flower patterns appear on the fabric.
