Tree Fairies - Elnia the Elm Tree Fairy on a Branch

Elnia is another Elm Tree Fairy.  Elm Fairies are known to be into planting their favorite tree genus.  Elm seeds are found in a round winged fruit, so they are carried in the wind.  Some species of elm, like Chinese or Siberian Elm, are planted all over the place in the United States, even though they are not native.  There ARE native Elm in the USA as well.  For instance, the American Elm.  

Elm trees produce excellent wood for furniture and even butcher blocks.  Elmwood is hard and very useful.  But elm trees are most popular for being excellent SHADE trees.  They grow to around 100 feet or 30 meters tall.  

Emilia is seen kneeling on elm leaves in the fall.  Elm tree leaves tend to not begin to change color until they are hit by a good strong frost.  The American Elm will change, after a frost, from a deep green to a golden yellow.  

An interesting thing about elm tree leaves is that they are NOT symmetrical.  If you fold an elm leaf in half on the center vein, you will see that it is not the same on each side.  

A couple of interesting things to note about Elnia.  She IS a Tree Fairy, but her mother was a Butterfly Fairy so she has butterfly wings.  (SOME Tree Fairies have wings that mimic the leaves of their preferred species of tree.)  Elnia is also wearing a unique outfit with a blouse with short-leaf sleeves and Fairy-cloth fabric.  Her skirt is made up of wide monocot leaves.  Monocots are the grasses.  Tulips are also monocots because, like grass, they have parallel veins on their long leaves.  

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the list for the new drawing.  Of course, this drawing will probably only be on the bottom of the list if you are looking this up around March 25th of 2021.  IF you are looking at this page at a later date then the drawing's title will be on the list further up from the bottom of the list.
