They should make one that's black. Sell them at Hot Topic for a hundred bucks each. Make fortunes.

You can already buy black roses from most florists. You just have to special order them usually.

That... is a gorgeous rose. WANT!

That would be my reaction too. It is gorgeous.

(People complaining about how this is a misuse of resources and the same amount of genetic engineering could have been applied to create something more practically applicable due in 3... 2... 1...

People complaining about any genetic alteration at all and what right we have to mess with nature due in 3... 2... 1...

People complaining about any genetic alteration at al and how dare we mess with God's design due in 3... 2... 1...

People cynically pointing out that it is all a sham to make the global flower industry more money due in 3... 2... 1...)

(Here, now that all the clamor is up, have earplugs.)

Whoa-- until I read the link text, my first thought was "Photoshop!"

Very cool. Kind of looks like the stem and leaves picked up some of the blue pigment too.

So the picture IS enhanced. They haven't made a bright blue one yet.

I'll keep waiting. Hard bit's done though.
