Another super hot day.. I think it hit 99 at work.    Friend bilL (he says ‘Capital L bill’) came by with popsicles !

Cool surprise tonight . A few months ago Diane came across these genetically engineered petunias that were designed to glow in the dark !

We’d heard that it was pretty subtle.. but tonight this happened !  Nothing subtle about it !

Here’s what they look like in normal light

and here’s what they look like at night !

even though they are called firefly petunias, they actually don’t have anything related to fireflies in them. Scientists were able to splice in some DNA from a type of mushroom, which actually makes them glow.

Very cool… But at the same time a little scary

As Gabe says.. “what could possibly go wrong” ?!

nite all, nite sam
