A Nodding Bellflower and a Tiny Visitor

This bellflower with a ladybug coloring page is drawn in a tall, portrait layout. A single curved stem rises from a clump of grass and bends at the top, so the wide bell-shaped flower hangs downward with its scalloped petals open. Inside the bloom, the flower's long stamens and pistil dangle toward the ground. Two broad leaves grow near the base of the stem, and on the lower leaf sits a ladybug with a spotted shell, big eyes and two little antennae. A small cloud floats in the upper corner of the page.

Facts About Bellflowers and Ladybugs

Bellflowers belong to the genus Campanula, a name that comes from the Latin word for "little bell." Hundreds of species grow in meadows, woodland edges and rocky mountain slopes across the Northern Hemisphere, and many are popular garden plants. Their flowers are usually blue, violet or white, and bees visit them for pollen and nectar. Ladybugs are small beetles that help gardeners: both the adults and their larvae eat aphids, tiny insects that suck sap from plants. A single ladybug can eat thousands of aphids during its life.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why are ladybugs good for gardens?
Ladybugs and their larvae eat aphids and other small, soft insects that damage plants. Many gardeners are happy to see them because they help protect flowers and vegetables without sprays.
Are all ladybugs red with black spots?
No. Depending on the species, ladybugs can be red, orange, yellow, black or even pink, and some have stripes or no spots at all. The number of spots also varies from one kind to another.
Why do bellflowers hang their blossoms downward?
Many bellflowers have nodding flowers that face the ground. This shape can help shelter the pollen from rain, and visiting bees simply climb up inside the bell to feed.
