While not seen in hard sugar candies, these flavors I have for Sirrup's:
Violets,  Gilleflowers, Cowslip, Rose, Damask Roses, Barberries,
Mulberries,Rasps (rasberies), Leamons, Poumcitrons, Pippins (that is
apples), Purslane, Liquorish, Wood Sorrell, and Hyssope.  I suspect that
Saunders( red sandlewood) wood work well too.  As for coloring agents the
rose and sandlewood would make red, liquorish for black?, blackberries for
purple....

Yours, 
Eoian (who thinks he may go home and destroy the kitchen tonight with all
these ideas)
