I decided to collect some flowers from my own garden: sunflower leaves and nicotiana (red, pink and white flowers). I was also given some blackberries from a friend’s garden.
The red nicotiana flower is a velvet like red colour and I had been excited to see the possible pigment from it, but when it was extracted, the pigment very quickly turned from a dark red to a purple-brown, and dried a brown colour. All of the nicotiana leaves (pink, red and white) produced a shade of light brown.
The sunflower leaves kept the same colour as the leaves.
The blackberries produced a syrupy liquid which matched the colour of the berry.
