When you crush a flower, the mechanical action breaks down its cell walls, releasing pigments and other cellular components. Many flowers contain anthocyanins or carotenoids, which are responsible for their color. These pigments dissolve in the fluid released from the damaged cells, creating a colored solution. This process is a demonstration of how plant pigments can be extracted and observed in a simple manner.
