Floral Night Owls: Night-blooming flowers such as Angel's Trumpet, Four O' Clocks, and Casa Blanca Lilies open up in the dark to attract nocturnal pollinators like moths.

Sunflowers Follow the Sun: Sunflowers can track the sun's movement across the sky. This behavior is called heliotropism. Young sunflower plants face east in the morning to catch the sunrise. Throughout the day, they turn their heads to follow the sun as it moves. By evening, they face west. They return to face east overnight, ready for the next day's sunrise. Once they bloom, mature sunflowers usually face east all the time. This helps them attract more pollinators like bees.

Vanilla Comes from Orchids: Vanilla flavoring, which we love in ice cream and cookies, comes from the seeds of a specific type of orchid. The orchid produces pods, which are harvested and processed to make vanilla extract. These orchids are native to Mexico, but they are now grown in tropical regions around the world. It takes a lot of work to grow and process vanilla, which is why real vanilla extract can be expensive.

Rafflesia Arnoldii: The Rafflesia Arnoldii is the largest flower in the world, measuring up to 3 feet across. It's another smelly flower called the "corpse lily" because it smells like rotting meat. This smell attracts flies, which help pollinate the flower. The Rafflesia Arnoldii is a parasitic plant that lives off other plants to get its nutrients. It’s found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia.

Carnivorous Plants: Some flowers, like the Venus flytrap and pitcher plant, eat insects! They trap and digest bugs to get nutrients. These plants usually grow in places where the soil is poor in nutrients. By eating insects, they get the extra nutrients they need to grow. Carnivorous plants have special adaptations, like sticky leaves or trap-like structures, to catch their prey.

Floral Messages: In the Victorian era, people used flowers to send secret messages. Each flower had a special meaning, so you could communicate without saying a word. This practice was called "floriography." For example, a red rose meant love, while a yellow rose meant friendship. People would give bouquets with different flowers to convey their feelings and messages.

Mimosa’s Touch: The mimosa plant, known as the "sensitive plant," has leaves that fold up when touched. This movement is a defense mechanism to scare away predators. The leaves quickly reopen after a few minutes.

Climate Indicators: Some flowers can indicate changes in the climate. For example, cherry blossoms in Japan have been recorded for over 1,000 years. Scientists use these records to study changes in blooming times, which can indicate shifts in climate patterns. Earlier blooming times can signal warmer temperatures.

Floral Mandalas

Looking for some extra zen? Choose one of these mandala flowers for a meditative coloring experience.

Color Changing Blooms: Some flowers can change color as they age. For example, the flowers of the hibiscus plant start red and turn pink, then orange, and finally white as they age. This color change can signal to pollinators which flowers are ready for pollination and which have already been visited.

Flowering Trees: Not all flowers grow on small plants; some grow on trees. Cherry blossoms, apple blossoms, and magnolias are all examples of flowering trees. These trees produce beautiful flowers that attract pollinators and eventually become fruits or seeds. 

Detailed Designs for Adults and Teens

Older kids, teenagers, and adults will enjoy these flower coloring pages with more detail in each petal, leaf, and stem.

Pollination Partners: Different flowers attract different pollinators. Bees are attracted to bright blue and violet flowers. Hummingbirds prefer red and orange flowers with lots of nectar—butterflies like flowers with flat surfaces to land on. Bats pollinate flowers that open at night and have strong scents.

Everlasting Flowers: Some flowers, like the strawflower, are known as everlasting flowers because they retain their color and shape even when dried. These flowers are popular in dried flower arrangements and crafts. They are native to Australia and bloom in a variety of bright colors.
