Been gone from fairyland for quite a while, have just started the candy creatures but dont seem to be attracting any.
Can any kind fairy tell me what im doing wrong please x

You probably need to try different food or move your plants into different positions. :)

Kim,  you gardens, win blue cherrymole, now

Kim, you need a lot of patience, some of those critters take more than 10 feeds to show up

Good news is you had in your garden a yellow and a blue cherrymole, this means both middle and right candies are the correct shape but wrong color to attract the violet cherrymole

...and take note of which candies you have (position, shape and color) and what they attract on each food. Every garden has different combos, so what works for another one usually doesn't work for you

Each violet candy creature has its own puzzle, the other colors of the same specie give you the clues you need to solve it

Hi Kim, you can only have 3 ready for harves candy plant in your garden at a time. If you have more than 3 you won't attract any candies.

Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, I need a pentagon for my Orange Cherrymole to come, but all I am getting is duplicate colours, I need either a red or yellow pentagon as I have had all the other colours

You aren't doing anything wrong. The colours are random. You just need to keep trying until you get the colour you need.

If you get your Candyflower seed from hunting (and therefore know the shape in advance) you can predict the colour by the bud:

Round, Square, Crescent:   
small left leaning bud ----- red, green or violet
small right leaning bud ----orange or blue
fat bud  --------------------- yellow or indigo

Loop, Pentagon:
small left leaning bud----- yellow or indigo
small right leaning bud ---red, green or violet
fat bud -------------------- orange or blue

Triangle, Heart:
small left leaning bud: ---- orange or blue
small right leaning bud:---yellow or indigo
fat bud ------------------- red, green or violet

Copied this from forums, this helped me lots
