Start With Color
In the bottom of each cup, add a few drops of food coloring. The more you add, the darker the tint on the flowers. A good ratio is 20 drops to 1 cup of water. To make purple combine 10 drops of blue and 10 drops of red. To make orange combine 10 drops of red and 10 drops of yellow.

Multi-colored Flowers
Keep the stems rather long. On a cutting board using a sharp knife (grown-ups only) split the stem into at least two sections. Place each different split of the stem into a different colored water.
