Please feel free to post every day or when you you feel like it. Don’t forget that my FOTD challenge accepts gardens, leaves and berries as well as flowers.

It’s a great colour! But I’m not all that keen on tinkering with nature.

  I’m not good with poinsettias either. They are good one a few weeks at Christmas time. 😀

The secret is out now! Thanks for sharing. I think there’s similar techniques used for succulents, as the “blue” one that I had grew out with green leaves.

That’s an interesting color, but I feel a bit like Jo about tinkering with nature/color. 🙂

  I think it is fun, just because they are different. The colored water doesn’t hurt the plant any. But I do prefer them their natural color.
