Imagine a tiny, pretty flower with five petals. Now, imagine a whole bunch of these tiny flowers growing together in a little cluster, like a fluffy cloud of blue or white!

The most common color is a soft, sky blue. It’s a very happy and calm color! Sometimes, they can also be pure white. The plant itself is like a big, friendly bush. It has nice green leaves that love to hug the cute little flowers.

Butterflies love plumbago! They fly over to drink its sweet nectar. Wherever there is a plumbago plant, you will often see pretty butterflies dancing around it.

This plant is very hard-working. It doesn't flower for just one week. It grows flowers again and again for many, many months—from spring, all through the summer, and even into fall!

If you ever touch the flower and then touch your fingers together, they might feel a little sticky. It’s like the flower has put on a tiny bit of glue! This is totally normal and how the flower protects itself.

So, if you see this lovely blue or white flower, and butterflies around it, you'll know you've found a plumbago! A simple tutorial to guide us through drawing a plumbago flower—let's give it a try!
