Lipstick Palm Colouring Page

A clustering lipstick palm grows beside a tropical peat-swamp pool, showing slim ringed trunks and the brilliant crownshafts that give the plant its name. Spreading cream flower branches and tiny oval fruits appear below the leaves while a dragonfly hovers over the water. Colour the crownshafts and leaf stems vivid red or orange-red, the leaves rich green and the trunks soft grey with darker rings. Use cream for the flowers and dark purple-black for ripe fruits. Make the dragonfly blue or green and the water pale blue. Keep the background light, then use careful strokes on the smooth red stems so this striking palm stays the brightest focus.
