Look for redwoods, particularly near running water or where it's fairly moist. They may be up in the mountains in really obscure places.

They're tiny, tiny, tiny. The largest leaf should be around 1 1/4", but they've been known to flower from much smaller plants. This is where the "fairy" part of the name comes from.

Some of them may be dormant already, especially if they were growing in elevations that are a bit lower than the ones that are growing higher up.

They like it cool. Nothing above 85 F.

With these kinds of conditions you may be lucky enough to see a few stragglers before they drop their leaves.

I don't know specific locations, and even if I did, I don't think it'd be wise to disclose that to the public.

Our variety is a bit bigger with leaves up to 2" and plants up to about about 8" tall, though many are smaller.
