It’s a beautiful day!!
Today’s sunshine was so mild and equally rejuvenating. There were flowers blooming everywhere. Well I couldn’t capture all them because..then would have to peek into every other house in my vicinity!! Didn’t wish to trouble people with my child like curiosity!!
Cats everywhere
Wishing you all a happy February!!
That blue pea flower looks an awful lot like the butterfly pea flowers used to colour Ink Gin! If you have not run out of curiosity yet, you could try picking some and putting them in hot water, then adding some vinegar to see if it changes colour. And then bicarb soda to change it back again. 🙂 Hours (okay, 5 minutes) of fun!
This looks interesting… would try it one day!! Does it work on types of flowers?

I think quite a few blue and purple flowers change colour with acid, eg vinegar. Purple cabbage and red prunus leaves are often used to make a pH indicator for school chemistry experiments. Be careful with anything you’re going to eat though – some flowers are poisonous, so check what they are before steeping them in gin and adding tonic water and drinking it. Carnations and roses are fine, lilies can be poisonous.
Thanks for the information 🙂looks like you are an expert in this subject 😉
