You can do this little trick by adding food coloring to water. Make a fresh cut to the stem of the flower and insert the stem into the water. After a couple of hours you will be able to see the color spreading through the petals. It works best with lighter colored flowers with somewhat wide stems such as white carnations.

You can also do this trick with celery for a experiment with kids. Use red food coloring in the water and place the celery stalk in the water. Leave it over night. The next day you can slice the celery and see how the color has spread through the tubes in the celery.
