Did you know? Flowers have the unique ability to communicate with each other through a complex network of underground fungal hyphae, known as the mycorrhizal network. This allows them to share nutrients and warning signals, enabling them to cooperate and even warn neighboring plants of potential threats.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• This image of two flowers is ideal for a childs coloring book because it has simple, bold lines that are easy to color in. Here are five different ways you can color these flowers:
• 1. Color them black and white: Use a single color on each flower, with the petals all one color and the stems another. This would be great for a kid who wants to start out by coloring just two colors.
• 2. Make one pink and one blue: Pick your favorite colors for the flowers and make one of them pink and the other blue. You can add some white highlights to give it a three-dimensional effect.
• 3. Add color to each petal: Use different shades of blue or purple to create a gradient effect on each flower. The darker shade at the bottom will help balance out the lighter shades of blue and purple near the top.
• 4. Use a rainbow for both flowers: Choose your favorite colors in the rainbow, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Color one petal with one color and the next petal with another color until all petals are filled in. This will make a beautiful rainbow effect.
