Nature is the greatest artist of all! And our selection of 9 flowers that look like sketches proves it!

1.Windflower

Botanical name: Anemone

Straight out of an art gallery, anemones produce single or double flowers with delicate petals that have fine ridges. They arise from tubers, come in shades of pastel pink, purple, blue and white and have a dark center, providing contrast to a single flower.

They need full sun for 6 hours a day and thrive in well-drained, acidic, clay soils.

2. Balloon flower

Botanical name: Platycodon grandıflorus

Native to China, the balloon flower may get its name from its unique inflated ball-shaped structure of unopened flower buds, but that’s not all! These flowers open in a fan shape with pointed petals in many colors and small bright centers. Our favorites are the blank varieties with variations that make them look like they’re part of a sketchbook.

To prolong its blooming season, cut off spent blooms. Avoid dividing or transplanting as it has a fragile root system.

3. Clematis

Botanical name: Clematıs

Also known as Virgin’s bower, clematis is a woody vine that grows up to 18 feet long. Its exciting flowers are often multi-layered, with up to 20 petals each. But for this list, we selected the “Tıe-dye” variety of clematis, the white-on-purple veined fillets making it look like a cartoonist designed the flower.

Clematis is toxic to humans if ingested and has fragile stems that can break with the slightest pressure.

4. carnation

Botanical name: Dıanthus

Carnation flowers occur naturally with ruffled, ruffled petals in soft, deep shades of cream and pink with darker edges. Divided into five parts, these edible flowers are also used to make icing sugar.

These clove-scented ornamental plants thrive in well-drained soil and full sun.

5. primrose

Botanical name: Prımula ‘Zebra Blue’

The Zebra Blue cultivar is a compact perennial that produces large white flowers with inky blue veins and bright yellow cores. It prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil, and drying its spent flowers helps maintain its health and its flowers.

6. Morning Glory

Botanical name: Ipomoea tricolor

As the name suggests, morning glories open only during the day and retire at night. This variety comes in delicate sky blue, lilac, pink and white, with a pale, concave center and stripes emerging outward.

Morning glories grow best supported in full sun and in moderately rich, well-draining soil. This wonderful strain is toxic to cats, dogs and horses if ingested.

7. African daisy

Botanical name: Osteospermum

These hardy South African natives produce long-lasting daisy-like flowers, often with mottled, protruding centers of deep blue and purple surrounded by a dark hue. The flowers typically appear in mottled shades of white, gold, pink, and purple.

8. saffron

Botanical name: Colchıcum Autumnale

Autumn crocus produces pale lavender flowers with deeper stripes along its petals. When it fully blooms, it takes on a huge star shape. This cold-tolerant beauty looks like saffron, but it is very toxic as it contains colchıcine in large quantities.
