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.
How does food coloring effect plants?
The food colouring itself does not have any affect on the growth of the plant, it does however colour or "stain" the tissues of the plant - sometimes making them easier to see under a microscope. If certain flowers (normally cut flowers) are watered with water containing food colouring, the colour of the flowers can be artificially manipulated (this is sometimes done with chrysanthemums, roses and carnations). The colour change is not permanent as it is not a genetic characteristic, only a physical change due to the coloured pigment.
