Walking through the garden in the summer, what is the first thing you notice? Most likely, the variety of color spots on the lawn and in the flower beds catches your eye. Have you ever wondered why flowers have this particular color?<\/h4>\n
“Anthocyanin” is the name of the pigments that give flowers red, lilac, blue, purple and other shades. These pigments are dissolved by the juice of flowers. Other colors – yellow, orange and green – are formed thanks to other pigments. These include chlorophyll, carotene and others. These pigments have different chemical structures.<\/h4>\n
So, the color of flowers depends on the presence of pigments “anthocyanins” and “plastids”<\/h4>\n
