Flowering plants have vascular systems which consist of xylem and phloem. The xylem transport water and minerals from the roots all the way to the leaves until the water is released through the stomata, openings of the leaves. So allowing plants to intake colored water the plant will turn the color of the water because of water transport through the xylem. The water will absorb into the roots travel up the stem and leave through the stomata in the flower petals, dying the plant the color of the water as the water exits the plant.

since flowers absorb water, the color of the food coloring is also absorbed through xylem

You can do this little trick by adding food coloring to water. Make a fresh cut to the stem of the flower and insert the stem into the water. After a couple of hours you will be able to see the color spreading through the petals. It works best with lighter colored flowers with somewhat wide stems such as white carnations. You can also do this trick with celery for a experiment with kids. Use red food coloring in the water and place the celery stalk in the water. Leave it over night. The next day you can slice the celery and see how the color has spread through the tubes in the celery.
