The bioluminescent petunias have arrived!

This is what they look like with a little bit of long exposure camera magic.

Thanks to the power of bioengineering, scientists have been able to insert the genetics found in naturally glowing mushrooms into petunia flower plants!  These are the first to be offered to the public, and we are having fun watching ours grow this summer!

Below are the images of how their “glow” looks to your eyes.

Just imagine: a walking path in your yard lined with beautiful white petunia blossoms by day, giving off a gentle greenish glow by night!
