Day #1
10 drops food coloring in 4 jars.
Jars are half full of water with the colors red, blue, yellow, and green.
Carnations and celery are the plants used.
Day #2
Added daffodils.
Celery is beginning to change in blue and green.
Yellow is changing color of carnation.
Day# 3
Celery in the red is dying.
Daffodils are opened and showing slight color change in the one in the blue jar.
Day #4
Red celery is dead celery!
Yellow carnation is yellow.
Daffodil in blue and green have dark rims.
Conclusion: Water is stilled absorbed when a plant is died or picked.
I wonder what would happen if I watered a non-picked plant with colored water.
P.S. Blogger was having problems with spacing.

Excellent pictures and commentary.
Stay away from the red dye #40. It's a killer.
Excellent science experiment! I think that I may avoid red dyes.
