"Genetically Modified Petunias: Illuminating the Future of Bioluminescent Plants"

Genetic modification has led to the creation of a new bioluminescent petunia called the Firefly Petunia, which glows in the dark due to genes from a bioluminescent mushroom and a fungi. Despite initial challenges, the plant now sustains its own glow without the need for additional chemicals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the plant last fall, and it has recently become available for purchase online. While some may have concerns about genetically modified plants, experts believe that the Firefly Petunia could attract new customers to gardening and bring joy through its magical glow.
