Blue roses finally exist! Part rose, part petunia (they've got a petunia gene spliced into them).

No word yet on whether they're telepathic or not.

I dunno ... I mean, from what I understand, other researchers had proved that there would never be blue roses by conventional breeding methods because the roses simply lacked the proper enzymes to create the blue pigment. Given that, it was either be open to a wider range of methods or give up. Dreaming the impossible dream and accepting that "some things will never be" is romantic, but ingenuity has its charms as well.
