Dragon in an Ornamental Garden Coloring Page

About this page

Framed by a wreath of vines, leaves and flowers, a dragon lies calmly in the middle with its head raised and turned to the right. Along the left, right, top and bottom edges, curled stems carry leaves and buds, and large lotus-like blooms sit at the top and bottom. Smaller flowers with round centers fill the corners near the wings. The dragon's wings are lifted behind it and decorated with flower mandalas, while its scaled body lies flat with a tail curling toward the lower left. Rows of diamond plates run down the neck. The garden border and dragon share the page evenly, so the picture feels like a framed illustration. Teens who like botanical designs will find both a relaxing and detailed page here.
