They're actually blue and yellow. They're different media with different hormones. I added food coloring to be able to tell them apart.

Looked pretty green to me, does it effect the colour of the plant? Maybe you should try and make a really dark blue one (colour one really dark blue), see what happens...

It looks green because of the lighting. And no, it won't affect the color of the plant. I don't know if it would if you added a bunch of food color though...it might.

Would you mind trying it? It would be interesting that we can change the colour of the plant.

You can try the same experiment with freshly cut flowers - get some white flowers and put them in a vase of colored water - the white flowers will change color as they suck up the colored water.

Thanks Linton. I knew about that but was thinking about Dionaea. It would be cool to have a blue plant!

Would food colouring kill Dionaea plants?

I'm not sure. It might. I'll likely never find out because I don't have that much interest in making a weird colored plant, but maybe I will if I have some in tissue culture that I don't really care about.

You do have a lot of plants though. I want a blue plant, or be happy to see one. I'm just wondering about if it'd work. If you happen to try that, and its looks like it is effects the plant, stop.
