About this coloring page

Large protea blooms with overlapping pointed petals mingle with pincushion flowers, smaller blossoms and dense foliage. Broad, serrated leaves show fine branching veins, while slender leaves follow the upright stems. Flowers and foliage extend to the edges, creating a full botanical composition with very little empty space.

This detailed design suits adults who enjoy working through many small shapes, from the textured flower centers to the narrow spaces between curved floral filaments. Try dusty pink and deep coral for the proteas, warm orange for the pincushion blooms, and a mix of olive and sage greens for the leaves. Sharpened colored pencils would work well for the fine veins and closely packed centers.

Best paper

Standard printer paper works; 24–32 lb or cardstock is nicer for markers.

Printer settings
