Finesse in  flowers-petal designs, curves and delicacy are the prime specialties of  Sanganer prints. The curvature of flowers in the ’bootas’ is generally  shown on the right side. Different types of flowers and plants are displayed in  the form of ‘bel’ (a border) and ‘boota’ very naturally and in a really  attractive manner.
			      Some of the flowers used in the prints are roses, rosettes, lotuses, lotus bud,  sunflower, lily, ‘champa’ ‘canna’ ‘nergis’, marigold etc. Various other flower  creations are also found in old Sanganeri prints. Other flowers used are  locally known as ‘sosan’, ‘gainda’, ‘gulmehendi’, ‘javakusum’, ‘guldaudi’,  ‘kachnar’, ‘jatadari lily’, ‘kaner’, ‘kanna’, ‘gullalla’, etc. ‘Sosan’ and  ‘gullala’ prints are probably very suitable to sanganeri prints, therefore they  are used in various forms.
In ‘booties’,  generally, only one type of flower-petal and bud creations  in the following  forms
 : ‘badam, (almond)’, ‘paan’ (beetle leaf), ‘mukut  of ‘kalanga’,  While printing a saree, if the ‘booti’ is of ‘sosan’ flower or plant the ‘bel’  will also be of ‘sosan’ flower and the big’boota’ to be done on the ‘pallu’  (the end part of a saree) will also be of ‘sosan’ flower decoration. Hence, for  printing one sari, a large number of blocks need to be made. In some ‘booties’  one finds a collection of more than one flower in the same product. Sometimes  two different blocks of two different ‘booties’ are printed together to form a  third type of ‘booti’ e.g. ‘Singhbal booti’. By printing different booties  together, the Sanganeri ‘chhipas’ have portrayed excellent know how. Sometimes  more than three flowers are fitted beautifully in a single ‘booti’ e.g. in  ‘Latkan booti’ banana tree, sosan tree and saro tree collection in assembled  beautifully in one pattern.Different ‘boota’ booti, and ‘bel’ have been named  by the ‘chhipas’ according to their shape find according to the flowers and  fruits used in those. These were very appropriate and interesting.
