Why do handmade paper flowers make popular gifts for Mother's Day?
Paper flowers remain vibrant over time without needing water or sunlight. Creating a handmade flower allows children to personalize colors and shapes as a meaningful keepsake for their mothers.
How do real flowers get their bright petal colors in nature?
Flowers produce natural pigments such as anthocyanins for red and purple shades, and carotenoids for yellow and orange hues. These colors attract pollinators like bees and butterflies in the wild.
