Flower Fairies are illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker, created during the first half of the 20th century. Unable to go to school as a child because of her epilepsy, she was home-schooled and spent much of her time drawing and painting. Her artwork was influenced by illustrator Kate Greenaway and even more so by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and she developed her talent as a member of the Croydon Art Society. Her flower fairy paintings, in particular, were driven by the Victorian popularity of fairies and fairy stories.
Also here is a stamp from series 'Landscapes of Hong Kong' issued in 2014 (I have 3 stamps from 12):
