Gloriosa Flower Colouring Page

Three spectacular Gloriosa superba flowers curl their flame-like petals backward while long stamens spread around a climbing garden stem. Try red, orange, yellow, or a fiery blend that changes from yellow near the petal base to scarlet at each wavy pointed tip. Colour the lance-shaped leaves and curling tendril tips in fresh green, the support stick warm brown, and the butterfly brightly. Follow every narrow wavy petal from its base to its swept-back tip, then carefully colour around the long curved stamens so they stay clear. Begin with the biggest spaces and use gentle pressure for pale colour, then press a little more firmly for bold details. Young artists can use one solid shade in each section, while older children can blend two related colours, add dots or stripes, and draw extra garden details in the open space. As you work, say the flower name—Gloriosa superba—and notice its special petals, leaves, buds, and centre.
