There was a book that I used to read when I was younger called The Lost Flower Children.
If you have never read it, I recommend it even now. I read it probably eight or nine years ago and I still think about it a lot.

The plot focuses on two little girls, Olivia, who is nine, and Nellie, who is five. The girls have recently lost their mother and are "spending the summer" with elderly Great Aunt Minty. Great Aunt Minty knows almost nothing about children but a lot about gardening and soon the girls are our digging with her. The unearthing of a blue teacup leads to Great Aunty Minty’s childhood storybook, which contains the story "The Lost Flower Children," about children at a tea party who are turned into flowers by angry fairies. They can only regain their human form when every piece of missing china has been found hidden or buried in the garden.

If you don’t have an idea of the story, this picture is meaningless.
Read the rest of the book review here, if you want to. (:

I left these out in my yard to see if flowers will grow in them.
