Mexican Fan Palm Colouring Page

A very tall Mexican fan palm reaches into a sunny sky, with a slim trunk, a crown of round fans and a skirt of old hanging leaves. Long sprays of pale flowers and strings of small black fruits curve below the crown while a hooded oriole weaves a nest among the fibres. Colour the living fans bright green, the dry skirt tan and brown, and the trunk warm grey. Make the flowers cream, the ripe fruit purple-black and the oriole yellow and black. Use sandy colours for the simple dry landscape and light blue overhead. Begin at the top with the fan leaves, then move downward so the long trunk stays smooth and even.
