Answer 1

Oh, friend, this is because the flower carries the process of photosynthesis by the use of water also. If the flower will consume water so the colour with the water will also come up to the stems of the flower and then it would reach the petals. So, this can be the reason why the petals and the stem becomes red or blue.
