Consumers in the United States can now pre-order a genetically engineered plant for their home or garden that glows continuously. At a base cost of US$29.00, residents of the 48 contiguous states can get a petunia (Petunia hybrida) with flowers that look white during the day; but, in the dark, the plant glows a faint green. Biotechnology firm Light Bio in Sun Valley, Idaho, will begin shipping a batch of 50,000 firefly petunias in April.
Engineered petunia emits a continuous green glow thanks to genes from a light-up mushroom.
Agreed! That being said I am being peer pressured by my friend group to get it, since I am already known for being the plant person, lol.
I suppose plant peer pressure is the least threatening type lol. Your friends should pitch in for shipping if they want to see those glowing baddies so badly.
