It can. This is best illustrated by the hydrangea's flowers which are pink in alkaline soils and blue in acid soils.

Why can ammonia change a flower's color through a flower's pigment?
ammonia can change the soils pH (acidity level) which can affect the formation of plant pigments or the absorption of elements
What other chemicals with high pH affect the color of flower petals?
none
Why does ammonia change a flower's color?
AnswerAmmonia diffuses readily through air and water, and since the petals of flowers are usually permeable to air and water, one can hypothesize that the ammonia can diffuse into the flower. Since ammonia is a base, its chemical pH reaction with the flower pigments could potentially cause flower color changes.
Where do flower get there color from?
flower has some pigments called as chromoplasts. these will give colors to the flowers
Do pigments affect plant growth?
Yes, pigments can affect plant growth since plants absorb energy from the sunlight at different rates depending on the pigments each plant has.
What is the pH of a flower?
depends what kind of flower xD
What is the pH of flower?
depends what kind of flower xD
How do you separate different pigments from an extract of petals?
place the flower petals in a mortar and pour alcohol on it the grind it with a pistil to extract the pigments
What factors affect separation of pigments?
...are: -the attraction to the paper -the solubility of the pigments -the size of the particles posted by Huguito Doutre
When you crush a flower in a liquid why does it produce a colored solution?
The juices of all plants contain pigments. Pigments in the juices will colour other liquids.
How does soil pH affect flower color?
Well, if the soil is acidic then the flower would turn and pink/red colour. if the soil had alkali then the colour would change to blue. Gardeners use this to make Hydrangeas change colour. other colours are possible to make, it all determines the Ph of the soil.
Do pigments affect the absorption of light in plants?
Yes they do affect the absorption of light in plants.
