Painting the Chrysanthemums Blue?

So after about a week of trying to not be disappointed that my flowers are not quite the color I wanted them to be I had a brilliant idea. . . I shall dye them all to make them the right color!  Easy, right?   Well, turns out it wasn't too bad, but 336 flowers is A LOT of flowers.  But, I got them all finished and hopefully they will be dry before it starts raining. =\  Much happier with the color now!
Anyway. . . here are some pictures of the beginning of the process.  Later in the day half the table was covered in about 5 bowls of flowers soaking and the other half was full of flowers laying out to dry.





Fun fact of the day:  It is not easy to get blue dye off your fingers if you are stupid and don't wear gloves.
