So I'm thinking of writing a sequel to Fairies and Fireflies. My tentative working title is "Star Thistles and Heliotrope", but I could also use "In the Wide, Wild Field". or something else entirely. The meaning behind ST&H is that star thistles have prickles and thorns, but the flowers give lots of nectar and the most wonderful tasting honey. Heliotrope is a beautiful purple flower that is toxic.

potential blurb:

In the wide, wild field, unsuspected dangers lurk. Butterfly-Fairy, Urisk the brownie, and some new friends discover that courage can take many forms.

what do you think?

ETA Oleanders meet the specifications, and may be more familar to audiences than heliotrope, and Oleanders do produce a toxic honey (although not to bees) - how would "Star Thistles and Oleander" sound as a title?
