I'm doing it gang, I've spent stupider gardening money before like when I dropped $300 on shade loving perennial bulbs only to learn they were also plants that rotted with wet feet and all immediately died in my swampy gumbo soil

I'm buying two firefly petunias. I've never grown petunias much because where I live they're a winter annual but fuck it I'll grow them as an indoor plant I certainly have the sun to do it.

They're supposed to ship to me in April, I'll report back on if they immidiately die or this is the coolest thing I own. My biochemical engineering design project was using a similar chemical pathway to modify bacteria to glow in the presence of specific toxins so I absolutely need glowing petunias in my window box

Yaaalll my plants arrive tomorrow!!!! I'm so excited

My glowing GMO petunias have arrived!! I'm glad I ordered 2 one seems really leggy and about to snap off it's roots if I'm not careful transplanting. They've been in a dark box for 2-3 days so I can only just barely perceive light from the more sturdy bush if I close myself into my pantry, but it is definitely there!

I'm putting it under my aquarium grow lights for a few hours till full dark and I'll report back!!

I'll probably give them 2-3 days to recover from shipping before I transplant them

Holy shit y'all

The flower buds and new growth glow the brightest! This is so cool!!! I definitely want to know if it starts to glow more brightly with a few sunny days
