16 Orchid Coloring Pages

Orchids are one of the largest flower families on Earth, with more than 28,000 species. Vanilla, the flavor in ice cream and cookies, comes from the seed pods of an orchid. Many orchids grow on tree branches in tropical rainforests instead of in soil, catching water and nutrients from the air with special roots. This collection features orchids in pots and in bloom. An orchid arches gracefully from a pot, another sits in a cute pot and a bud vase, and one grows in a basket with a ladybug. There is a single bloom, a detailed botanical study and a showy cattleya orchid. Two cute orchid pages are great for younger kids. Orchids come in white, pink, purple, yellow, orange and spotted patterns. The moth orchid, a popular houseplant, often has a white or pink flower with a darker center. Blending two shades on each petal adds softness. These pages suit flower lovers, botany lessons and relaxing coloring.
