Floral heart Mother’s Day coloring page with roses, daisies, bow vase, leaves, and swirling vines.

Mother’s Day Bouquet with Heart Flowers

Roses, tulip buds, leafy stems, and two heart-centered daisies burst from a bow-tied vase marked “Happy Mother’s Day.”

🎨 How to color it

Color the roses dusty pink, the two heart centers cherry red, the daisy petals butter yellow, the leaves sage green, and the bow on the vase lavender. Use sharp colored pencils for the rose spirals, leaf veins, and tiny background curls, then switch to broader strokes for the vase and bow. Try a secret pattern by making every third small dot around the vines gold, like hidden pollen leading through the bouquet.

The Pollen Dot Game — Under the garden workroom table, Calla lined up seven yellow pollen dots on her thumb and invented a game: follow the smallest gold mark, take nothing loud, and bring back something for Mama’s morning vase. Read the full story →

Under the garden workroom table, Calla lined up seven yellow pollen dots on her thumb and invented a game: follow the smallest gold mark, take nothing loud, and bring back something for Mama’s morning vase. The room smelled of wet stems and clay. Outside, the glass roof ticked with mist, and the old rose bushes leaned close, as if listening.

The first dot waited on a leaf, then another on a tulip bud, then one on the rim of the blue watering can. Calla stepped past her cozy rug and into the cool rows. At the last bench, a hidden drawer clicked open with a papery sigh. Inside lay a packet labeled HEART DAISY SEEDS, but the string around it was knotted tight. To free it, Calla had to use the lavender ribbon from her own braid. “Fair trade,” she whispered, feeling her hair tumble loose.

Back inside, she planted the seeds in Mama’s round vase and tied the empty packet to the bow. By breakfast, two daisies had opened with small hearts in their centers, quiet as a secret finally kept. If you trace the tiny dots among the curling vines, you may find the path Calla followed from the first yellow pollen dot.
