What is shown in this coloring page?

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are known for their tall stems and large, daisy-like flower heads. A unique trait called heliotropism means young sunflowers turn their heads to follow the sun across the sky. Each flower head is actually made up of hundreds of tiny florets in the center, which mature into the seeds we love to eat. They are native to North America and are celebrated for their bright, uplifting appearance.

How should you color this page?

Let your creativity shine! You can use realistic colors or create a fantastical, multicolored bloom.

• Petals: Traditional sunflowers have bright yellow petals. Try Sunflower Yellow (#FFDA03) or a softer Mustard (#FFDB58).
• Center: The central disc can be a deep brown like Sienna (#A0522D), Sepia (#704214), or even a textured mix of Olive Green (#808000) and brown.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layering: Start with lighter colors and gradually add darker shades to create depth and dimension in the petals and center.
• Texture: Use small circular strokes in the center to mimic the texture of the tiny florets. For petals, try coloring from the base outward.
