Actually, if you put a white carnation in food coloring, the carnations will turn that color. Example: Put a white carnation in red food coloring. In a few weeks, the flower will turn red.
it only absorbs it on aWednesdayand on that day it takes 20hours
they will turn blue
try food coloring in the water.
Depends on the plant. White dasies will change color very quickly.
Yes, the color of the flower will change, it will be better to use a white flower for this experiment because its easier to tell if it changed.
yes
if you put white carnations in a vase with cold water and a couple drops of food coloring then the petals with turn the color of the food coloring..... ex: 1 white carnation+a vase+red food coloring+cold water=red carnation
The food dye goes up into the stem of the flower and moves into the system of making the color, creating a different color besides the white on the petals!
AnswerYESThis works best with white carnations as the whole flower will change colour, usually with lillies only the tips of the petals will change colour. I used to love doing it with the lighter coloured daffodils and found that the petals would change colour but not the bit that stands up in the middle :))
Any flower that is white will absorb the color you choose. You see that often with carnations. They are dyed blue alot. I have found nothing on-line that shows this. I did see one reference where a virus was injected into the bulb to change the flower color but on the second year flowering it reverted back to the original color. You can however dye some white cut flowers by putting into colored water. The dye is absorbed through the stem and into the flower.
When you put a white flower in food coloring the flower drinks the food die and the pettals change to the color you put the flower in. Its a great science experiment for science fairs and you can get a great amount of facts.
