First night watching my #FireflyPetunia glow in the dark....

First night watching my #FireflyPetunia glow in the dark.

It’s not glowing very much now but it’s supposed to get brighter when it gets happier

@Seymour Yeah! I believe they took genes from a mushroom and put in this to let it glow.

@Turfy Oh, that makes more sense, Michael. I was wondering why a petunia would need to glow?
Interestingly, some carnivorous plants use ultraviolet light on some of their parts to attract insects. The photos look amazing.
