Painting the Lily.
The color of cut flowers may be
altered to almost any desired hue in
a remarkably short time by placing
them in colored water.
For instance, if a drop or two of
red ink is dropped Into the water in
a vase where white lilies are- stand-
ing, they will turn red. But, although
a white lily, colored pink, blue, or
purple, may be an interesting novelty,
to the artistic mind it is probably not
a particularly attractive one,
Even when • grown in soil, some
flowers can have their colors changed
or modified by the addition of abme-
thing or other to the plant's diet. A
good example of this is the popular
hydrangea, the color of which can be
ehanged from pink to blue by adding
alum to the soil.
