How do flowers absorb colored water?
The processes are involved in plant drinking is as the water evaporates from flowers and leaves, the attractive force between water molecules called cohesion pulls more water along. Water is pulled up through tiny tubes that run up a plant’s stem. Gravity might want to pull the water back down toward the ground, water sticks to itself and these tubes. The leaves then take on the color of the water. You can find more info at: http://chemistry.about.com/od/colorchemi…
