Drinking Daffodils

We were wondering how daffodils get the water they need to grow. Do they drink the rain through their petals, or drink it through their stems? We think that they get water through their stems. We tested this by putting food colouring in the water that the daffodils are drinking. We left the daffodils overnight. Sure enough, after only one night in coloured water we can see the colours in the petals of the daffodils.
