Flowers stay alive through a process called Transpiration. That means the water flows up through the flower and evaporates from the leaves. When the water evaporates it will leave food coloring behind, thus dying the petals. So, take a cup of warm water and add about 30-40 drops of food coloring (Wilton dyes are much strong and prefered, but more expensive) Cut the flowers to the desired length and fray the bottom slightly to expose the xylem tubes (what sucks the water up). The whole process takes about 24 hours. The flowers will not get darker past this time frame. Daisies will color completely while carnations will have a veiny effect and the petals will have some white remaining.
