I am ground into fine white powder for a baker's kitchen, yet in the sunny spring garden I bring vibrant colors to life. What am I?
Flower (Flour)
This riddle relies on homophones, which are words that sound identical but have different spellings and definitions. The word 'flour' is ground grain used in baking, while 'flower' blooms in a garden during spring. Because both words share the exact same sound, the clue works across both baking and gardening contexts.
