Laura PerryI decided to try some new tea. My first impression: looks like paint water, smells like a gift shop. ๐ You can't see from the photo, but the flavor of this one is called Vanilla Midnight. It turns out that I don't like the musty-bitter flavor of butterfly pea (I am familiar with all the other ingredients and like them). Adding honey instead of my usual stevia makes it less off-putting, but I guess this one just isn't for me. Other people might like it, I suppose. I am tempted, though, to buy some plain dried butterfly pea and try to make ink from it. I expect it would make a delightful color.
Julie WebgirlI've always joked that I'll never stop dying my hair and that when the apocalypse comes I'll be gathering twigs and berries to do the job no matter what color it ends up. The apocalypse feels near, maybe I should start researching this a little deeper.

Written by Briana Yablonski Horticulture review by Sarah Jay Last updated: May 1, 2024
"very so often, a new question strikes me. A few years ago, I found myself wondering how people transformed neutral-colored wool, cotton, and silk into shades of pink, blue, and yellow. I knew I could find synthetic dyes in tie-dye kits and commercial clothing factories, but I wondered how people colored their clothing, rugs, and linens before these products existed. Amazingly, many natural plant dyes can be grown right in our home gardens!
While not all natural dyes come from plants, there are more than a handful of flowers, leaves, and fruit that offer beautiful colors. Since dyeing is a chemical process strongly affected by pH, adding materials like soda and citric acid allows you to use one dye source to create multiple colors.
Youโre welcome to experiment with natural plant dyes of any species, but some plants are known to produce particularly vibrant colors. Try dyeing with a few of the following plants to see the range of colors the botanical world offers."

Chan ChanYo! Look at this. I experimented in this grow bag by planting a few seeds and cuttings. Almost everything is growing and Everglades tomatoes gatecrashed the party too. I will have to separate all of them into their own bags. #EvergladesTomatoes #AparajitaFlowers #CaribbeanHibiscus #ButterflyPea #GrowBags #BackyardGarden #Zone10B #SouthFlorida #Happiness
onat!๐ฌThis is the fresh #BlueTernate #ButterflyPea flower tea. There are 6 fresh flowers on that small mug. The purple has lemon juice on it. It's flavorless, until you put lemon on it.
