Cut flowers are still able to absorb water when placed in a vase as long as the xylem and phloem vessels are open and not clogged/ blocked by dead plant tissue and debris.
Any dye that is placed in the water will be absorbed up through the stem and move through the plant tissue (translocation) where it will collect or be deposited.
This dye coloring is then visible in the flower when we look at it; sometimes the entire flower can become colored, sometimes only portions colored - especially if some of the xylem vessels are damaged or blocked and no water is transported through them.
White flowers are normally used to colour artificially as the dye coloring does not always show clearly against darker colored coloured flowers (i.e. those that have a naturally darker coloring)

∙ 9y agoColored water is carried upward through the stem via capillary action. This also carries the dye in the water which then stains the cell walls of the petals, causing the flowers to take on the hue of the dye.

∙ 14y agoSome white flowers will change color when put into a dye solution. Most notable among the white flowers that do this are carnations. They are routinely dyed green and sold for St. Patrick's day. I've seen some wildly colored poinsettias this year that I can only assume were white dyed flowers.

∙ 13y agoif 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

∙ 11y agoThe flowers absorb water into their tissues. Since the cells of the flower are a mixture of water and solutes, they are less concentrated than the pure water (or, at least relatively pure) in the container. So, water will flow into the flower. For an experiment, put flowers into a solution of water and salt. If the salt concentration is high enough, water will flow OUT of the flowers.

Why do flowers have such brightly colored pastels?
To attract birds and insects
Why the strongly scented flowers are white colour?
White flowers smell more strongly than the colored ones so that they can attract the bees for pollination. Since they do not have a color to attract the bees, they naturally smell stronger.
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.
What happens to flowers when they drink colored water?

Do scientist study colored flowers?
well, flowers are flowers, and most flowers are colored, so yeah.
Does colored water affect a plant's color?
No, not exactly.
Do plants like water or coffee more?

Do dark flowers grow faster than light colored flowers?
I think that dark colored flowers are more healthier than light colored flowers. They might grow slower than light colored flowers because dark colored flowers have more chlorophyll, so that might take some time. Email me at manasingh97@yahoo.com for more help on this topic.
Do different colored water bottles affect how much a hamster drinks?
No.
What are easy science fair projects?
Hmm. How about, "What happens when I put white flowers in colored water?" The white flowers would change different colors depending what color of water, just to tell you. :)
How do flowers suck up food coloring?
The flower's stem absorbs water so it blooms out as an wonderful colored flower.
How do you think flowers are pollinated that are not brightly colored?
The flowers that are not brightly colored either have smell to attract the insects for pollination during night or these are pollinated by wind.
How does suger affect cut flowers?
It is believed that adding sugar to the water for cut flowers provides the flowers with a food source since the flowers have been literally "cut off" from their food supply.
Does mixing sugar into cut flowers water affect how long it will live?
No, because flowers also grow faster from scrap,food or sugar
