Tree Fairies - Alexulmia the Elm Fairy

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new coloring page I drew for you is of an Elm Fairy.



Tree Fairies - Alexulmia the Elm Fairy

Alexulmia is a Tree Fairy. That means she probably live in an underground village that is under an elm tree. This is not a dirty or muddy hole in the ground. This is a carved-out cavern that is brightly lit and has hundreds of little Fairy houses. Alexulmia gets part of her name from the Genus name for elm trees. That word or name is "Ulmus."  Alexulmia is seen here just sliding off a tree branch to fly away. She is also known to be kind to animals, especially dogs. She will find lost or abandoned puppies or dogs and find them new, safe homes. So as you can see, Alexulmia is beautiful, but she is also very kind. Kindness is a HUGE part of beauty. 

Elm trees are kinda unique. notice that the leaves are NOT symmetrical. You might think I drew the leaves carelessly. But I did not. The retired science teacher in me won't allow that. The leaves on an elm tree are actually asymmetrical and clearly are not a mirror image on each side. 

There are American Elm native to North America, but here in Utah, our elm trees are transplants from Asia and are more likely Chinese Elm or more likely Russian Elm. American Elms were once common but Dutch Elm Disease killed a lot of them off.
