How to Solve the Peony Flower Dot-to-Dot Puzzle
Few garden flowers can match a peony's staying power — a well-cared-for plant can keep blooming reliably for more than a hundred years, quietly outliving the gardener who first planted it. This gentle 46-dot puzzle, one of the shortest in the collection, is a friendly challenge for younger artists. Begin with the petals at the top and build the full layered bloom across four short stages.
1–12 — The Top Petals
Connect dots 1 through 12 to shape the soft petals at the top of the peony. Follow each rounded curve slowly and look carefully for the next number, since these petals set the tone for the layers below.
Fun fact!
Peony buds begin as tight round balls before opening into large flowers filled with layers of soft petals.

13–24 — The Layered Bloom
Continue from dot 13 to dot 24 around the middle of the flower. Use smooth pencil strokes to make the overlapping petals look full and fluffy, rather than flat.
Fun fact!
Peony flowers may have a single ring of petals or many densely packed layers, depending on the variety grown.

25–35 — The Stem
Follow dots 25 through 35 from the blossom down its sturdy stem. Keep your pencil steady on the longer connections and check each number before moving ahead.
Fun fact!
Peony stems hold up surprisingly heavy blossoms, although gardeners sometimes add supports when the flowers grow especially large.

36–46 — The Leaves and Finish
Connect dots 36 through 46 to add the leaves and complete the picture. Check every connection before coloring your finished peony, since only eleven dots remain.
Fun fact!
Peony leaves usually form pointed groups of smaller leaflets and stay green well after the spring flowers have faded.
