Why does the color of water change the color of the flower?

The flowers themselves don't change color, the contents of their veins do. When you put cut flowers in water, they draw in anything that is dissolved in the water. If you put in food dye, they will take that up. Plant veins run uninterrupted from the stem to the flower; the tiny veins in their petals are where you see the dye they have absorbed, causing the apparent change in color. You can get a dramatic example of this by putting a celery stalk in colored water. Leave it to stand for a few hours, then cut it in half crosswise. The veins in the stalk are large and stringy, and you will be able to see them clearly as colored dots. (Credit for that experiment goes to Mr. Wizard!) Depending on whether the plant is put into water with stems or no stems attached could determine if the plant will absorb the water and the colouring. At the stems, there are different pathways in which water and molecules are taken in, they all pass the casparian strip, a waxy layer which selects what goes into the xylem up the stem. If there are no roots, certain molecules will be able to enter which previously not able to. This means the molecules bypass the casparian strip and are able to enter the stems through the xylem are even the phloem. They are different in diameter and certain molecules will not be able to go into the stem or will become stuck part way due to the size of the molecules.

How do florists color flowers?

Flower coloring is the technique of placing fresh cut flowers into water containing food coloring. Warm water encourages better absorption than cold water. Florists also will cut the flowers under water using a sharp knife, as this prevents air bubbles and tissue damage from blocking the stem's cambial layer. If the process is successful, then the coloring will appear on flowers within 24 hours.
