This is some of my indigo harvest from last year! :-)
As you can see, the indigo pigment is stored in the leaves ;.) It becomes more apparent when the leaves are dried/oxidized. It's magic.

I'm going to make a series of posts to talk about it's chemistry and how I extract the pigment from the leaves to create one of the most incredible natural dyes on this planet <3 and I will also be showing projects I dye using indigo!
