Large Poppy Flower Coloring Page

Overlapping petals create natural layering where each curved section meets the next, building outward from the textured circular center marked with radiating lines in this detailed coloring design. The central seed pod shows a crosshatch pattern with small oval shapes dotting its surface, contrasting with the smooth petal surfaces. Serrated leaf edges feature pointed tips and deep cuts, while the unopened bud displays wrapped, protective outer petals. The large petal surfaces need gradient shading from deep crimson at the base to lighter coral or scarlet at the edges. Try different green tones for each leaf-perhaps forest green for some and yellow-green for others-to create botanical variety. The textured seed pod center benefits from careful dot-work in browns or blacks to emphasize its dimensional pattern.
