Abstract: Nowadays, demand for natural dyes has been developing rapidly due to increased awareness on hazardous, toxic and allergic reactions associated with artificial dyes. Natural dyes are obtained from natural sources such as plants, insects and minerals. Among all the plant created dye sources i.e. bark, flowers, seeds etc. floral dye sources are more important for textile dyeing as it offers both dye as well as smell. This paper reviews the available floral dye sources, application and removal of colourant from flowers and effect of different mordant.
