ABOUT
The Happy Houseplant Coloring Book is artist Caitlin Keegan's deep dive into the wild world of houseplants. Dare to dream about your own indoor jungle as you color cozy scenes featuring fifty common plants, from a spiky cactus and luscious anthurium to a majestic dragon tree and trailing pothos.
Each of the fifty intricate illustrations display a houseplant in a unique habitat of its own—on an apartment windowsill, in a greenhouse, or prominently featured in a luxe lounge. Color each plant and then flip to the backside of your artwork to learn names of the most common species, read about the plant's natural environment, and study how to care for them with tips on water, soil, sunlight, and whether or not the plant is safe for pets.
The sturdy, perforated pages can handle colored pencils, crayons, or markers. Tear out to share with friends or feature as art in the home. Perfect for green thumbs of all hues, this coloring book is a delightful introduction to the world of houseplants.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
