"He/she loves me, he/she loves me not..." Have you ever said those words while plucking petals from a wildflower? Flowers are deeply ingrained in our world's diverse cultures, and rightly so.
They are beautiful. They herald changes, such as the coming of spring or the fruiting of plants. We use them to mark milestones in life - accomplishments, weddings, romances, rites of passage, funerals, and more.

What do various flowers signify where you live? In many parts of the world, children love to pick flowers.
They may give gifts of wildflowers and flowering weeds to parents, teachers, or friends. Or, they may tie the stems together to create flower bracelets, necklaces, and crowns.
Bouquets of flowers are expected on certain special occasions. These may include dates, weddings, anniversaries, funerals, and holidays such as Mother's Day.
People may also give flowers to say "I'm sorry" or to simply show they care. The type of flower or its color may impart even more information to the recipient. This symbolism or communication is known as floriography.
Small flower arrangements called corsages and boutonnieres are worn at events like proms, dances, weddings, and quinceañeras. Some are worn as a pin on the lapel, others on the wrist.
Your art and drawing skills can blossom and bloom like these flowers. Pick your favorite drawing guide, and let's get started.
