Creating A Interactive Flower Dome Using The Color of Morning Glory and Investigating Amount of Color Change of Flowers

Abstract

The development of computers has led to much research on plant-based systems. But not many have focused on flowers, one of the most fascinating aspects of plants. In this study, we focused on the morning glory, which has the characteristic of changing flower color, and created an interactive flower dome that changes the flower color of the morning glory when carbon dioxide is added. Although it is generally known that the flower color of morning glory changes, the conditions necessary for the change have not been investigated. Therefore, in this paper, investigated and examined the conditions under which the flower color of morning glory changes too. The results showed that the addition of 100 ml/10 s of carbon dioxide to a container of approximately 900 ml capacity for one minute and two minutes, and waiting for three minutes for the former and one minute for the latter, caused the flower color to change to red. It was also found that the flower color returned to blue after waiting approximately 20 minutes after the change. In addition, comparison of the color differences showed that it is possible to distinguish between the altered red state and the altered blue state.
