Pixieville Flower is a guide to the flowers and plants of Mississippi.

Anouk has been given a quest: to identify nectar and flower buds for the Borrower fairies.

The fairies came here from Colorado when they hid in her dress, and they need to know where they can find food in Mississippi. Then they will be able to live in the back yard.
