RE:HYB: pigments, Mystery Blush

Is there another solvent that would separate the anthocyanin from other
water/alcohol soluble pigments

Use straight water, preferable distilled. Fresh flower works best. On older flowers there is some decomposition of flower which remains in solution and pigment also has deterioated. Alchohol extraction of water based pigments can be a problem as they often degrade very quickly unless the alcohol is slightly acidified
Hope this helps
