I found it easily at the Whole Foods supermarket chain. Living in South Florida, I've grown my own butterfly peas, and can assure you the flowers nearly bleed blue at the least provocation *grin*. It'd be easy enough to soak a half-dozen flowers or so and use the blue water to blend into the rice flour instead of having to pound things.
