How it works

Eight real flowers make up this flower color by number printable set: a tulip, a sunflower, a rose, a daisy, a poppy, a daffodil, a water lily and a bluebell, each a grid of numbered squares.

Read the full guide

Eight real flowers, each with a detail to spot

The Daffodil has six petal-like tepals around an orange trumpet. The Water lily pad has a notch in it, as real ones do. The Bluebell hangs its bells from one side of an arching stem.

Check the greens before printing for a class

Green is in all 16 grids and light green in all 8 detailed ones, so every table needs both. Pink is only in the detailed Tulip, Rose and Water lily, and light blue only in the detailed Water lily and Bluebell. The biggest single block is 140 pink squares on the detailed Water lily.

  • For a plant lesson, count the black blotches on the detailed Poppy: 4, one at the base of each petal.
  • A colored easy Rose or Tulip, cut out along the grid edge, makes the front of a Mother's Day card.
  • One flower fills one page of Letter or A4. Untick Answer key on page 2 under More options to leave the key off.

Questions and answers

Which flower picture is quickest to color?

The easy Bluebell at 65 squares, then the easy Daffodil at 70. The Water lily is longest at both sizes, 102 and 396. For rain boots and a bee to go with them, print the spring set.

Why are the daisy's petals left white?

White squares print empty, so the petals are bare paper. On the easy grid 71 squares of blue sky hold them in. On the detailed grid a blue outline does the same around 8 petals.

Can these pictures go with a lesson on plants?

Yes. Tulips, daffodils and bluebells all grow from bulbs, so they share the Spring bulbs group. What look like a sunflower's petals are small flowers called ray flowers. A water lily roots in the soil under the water.

Spring bulbs 3

  • Bluebell A bluebell stem arching over, with blue bells hanging from one side and purple tips where the flowers curl back. The easy grid has 3 bells. The detailed grid has 6 bells on two stems, with a light blue shine on each, light green leaves and a brown woodland floor. A common bluebell hangs all its flowers from one side of a drooping stem, and in spring bluebells can cover a woodland floor. Easy: 3 colors, 65 squares to color. Detailed: 6 colors, 232 squares to color.
  • Daffodil A yellow daffodil with six petals around an orange trumpet, on a green stem with long leaves. The detailed grid adds orange creases between the petals, a red rim to the trumpet, light green leaves and brown soil. Botanists call the six outer parts tepals and the trumpet a corona. Wales has the daffodil as its national flower. Easy: 3 colors, 70 squares to color. Detailed: 6 colors, 314 squares to color.
  • Tulip A red tulip with a green stem, two leaves and brown soil. The detailed grid plants three in a row, yellow, red and purple, with pink and orange lines where the petals overlap and light green leaves. Tulips come up from bulbs and flower in spring. Easy: 3 colors, 80 squares to color. Detailed: 8 colors, 292 squares to color.

  • Daisy A white daisy with a yellow middle. The petals are never colored. On the easy grid a blue sky holds them, with a green stem and leaves below. On the detailed grid a blue outline holds 8 petals around a yellow and orange middle, on a short stem above leaves and grass. The name is thought to come from day's eye, since the flower head shuts at night and opens again in the morning. Easy: 3 colors, 92 squares to color. Detailed: 5 colors, 224 squares to color.
  • Poppy A red poppy with four petals, a black and yellow middle and a green stem with leaves. The detailed grid gives each petal an orange edge and a black blotch at its base, puts a yellow ring around a light green seed pod in the middle, and hangs a bud from a side stem. A real field poppy has four red petals too, usually with a black spot at the bottom of each. Easy: 4 colors, 85 squares to color. Detailed: 6 colors, 292 squares to color.
  • Sunflower A sunflower with yellow petals, a brown middle and a green stem with two leaves. The detailed grid puts a second ring of orange petals behind the yellow, fills the middle with black seeds and adds light green veins to the leaves. Each petal shape on a real sunflower head is a small flower of its own, called a ray flower, and a young sunflower turns toward the sun. Easy: 3 colors, 92 squares to color. Detailed: 6 colors, 309 squares to color.

  • Rose A red rose seen from above, with black lines spiralling in to the middle, on a green stem with leaves. The detailed grid rounds the spiral and adds a pink edge to every petal, light green veins in the leaves and three brown prickles on the stem. Prickles is the botanist's word for what most people call a rose's thorns. Easy: 3 colors, 78 squares to color. Detailed: 6 colors, 248 squares to color.
  • Water lily A purple water lily with a yellow middle, sitting on a green pad on blue water. The pad has a notch in it, as real ones do. The detailed grid turns the flower pink with purple petal edges and orange-tipped yellow stamens, and adds light green veins in the pad and light blue ripples. A real water lily roots in the soil under the water, and its leaves and flowers float on top or stand above it. Easy: 4 colors, 102 squares to color. Detailed: 8 colors, 396 squares to color.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art. The color and square counts in each description were counted from the finished grids. The plant facts were checked against the Wikipedia article for each of the 8 flowers in September 2026 and are told in our own words. Licence: own work
