Select brightly coloured flowers, such as the purple and red bougainvillaea, or coloured
leaves. Squeeze or grind one of the coloured flowers or leaves in a mortar with a mixture
made of 2 mL acetone and 2 mL ethanol. By this means the colouring matter will be
extracted into the solvent. Filter and collect the filtrate. Repeat this experiment with one
or two other flower colours.
