Green Fairy

I finally did it! I got a picture of a #green #flame.

A few weeks ago I saw a video containing a green #fire. I absolutely loved how it looked and did quite a lot of research into coloured fire. I organised some chemicals from school (copper(II) sulfate [green], calcium chloride [orange], strontium nitrate [red]) but none of them created the effect that I wanted.

I then ordered some boric #acid online. When you dissolve boric acid in methanol and then burn it, you get a #beautifully coloured green flame. I love how this picture turned out. I would love to be able to extend this series with some more #colours.
