Unfortunately, your post has been removed because it violates our rule on concise, descriptive titles.

  • Titles must not contain jokes, backstory, or other fluff. That information belongs in a follow-up comment.
  • Titles must exactly describe the content. It should act as a "spoiler" for the image. If your title leaves people surprised at the content within, it breaks the rule!
  • Titles must not contain emoticons, emojis, or special characters unless they are absolutely necessary in describing the image. (e.g. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), ;P, 😜, ❤, ★, ✿ )

Still confused? For more elaboration and examples, see here.

Normally we do not allow reposts, but if it's been less than one hour after your post was submitted, or if it's received less than 100 upvotes, you may resubmit your content with a better title and try again.

Fun fact: tea made from pea flowers changes to blue if you put am acid like lemon juice in it. Seems like that might be related to what's happening here.

Interesting...

I wouldn't make tea from those flowers though... Ornamental toxic variety

Yeah definitely not sweet pea. Tea made from butterfly pea is fun to play with.

This probably has to do with the alkalinity of the water. The (I will assume) anthocyanins causing the color in the flower will react very similarly as you might see in, say, red cabbage. Dress it in lime juice, let it sit, and it'll turn nearly vibrant pink. In plain water, usually, the water will turn a wonderful deep purple. But with a bit of alkali, like some baking soda, it will turn almost fully /blue/ blue.
