Blooming Worldwide
This design symbolizes equity and unity, and celebrates springtime renewal by representing different parts of the world through flowers. The blue rabbit represents the water or the sky which the flowers sit upon. On the cheeks/legs of the rabbit is the California Poppy, Eschscholzia californica. Growing from the rabbit’s chest and around the neck is a brilliant band of cempazuchitl (marigold), Tanges erecta. This iconic flower is native to Mexico. The Nigerian national flower, the Yellow Trumpet, Costus Spectabili, adorns the sides. Climbing up the rabbit’s ears is the jasmine vine (chambeli), Jasminum officinale, the national flower of Pakistan whose fragrance is beloved across South Asia. Lastly, a lotus flower, Nelumbo nucifera, sits on the rabbit’s back. This aquatic plant is the national flower of India and Vietnam, and is loved across Asia and Australia.

I am 22 years old, and I have loved to paint for as long as I can remember. My favorite things to paint are flowers and landscapes. When I’m not painting, I like to visit the beach, go hiking, or hang out with my cat, Beans.
