What is shown in this coloring page?

Petunias are popular annual flowers cherished for their vibrant, long-lasting blooms from spring until frost. They are native to South America and come in a spectacular array of colors and patterns, including solids, stripes, and speckles. Their name is derived from the indigenous Tupi-Guarani word for tobacco, "petun," as they are related to the tobacco plant. Symbolically, petunias can represent both soothing feelings and a sense of resentment, but in the garden, they are universally loved for their cheerful and prolific display.
