plant id for pigment

<< < (3/4) > >>

Pat B:
Tim, I've never tried any flowers for dye. Chicory also has bright blue flowers like bachelor buttons.  I don't imagine any of these flowers have enough blue pigment in them to effectively use them for dye but I don't know that for sure. 

jamie:
call it spiderwort up here. its also edible.

Pat B:
Jamie, this is different from spiderwort.

jamie:
its asiatic dayflower here too we just call it spiderwort up here

Pat B:
You crazy New Englanders!  ;D ;)   Do you have spiderwort also or is that more Southern?
