My first glow plants
It took me a while to perfect, but now I can make blue, green, teal, and violet glow plants. They recharge in the sunlight and last several hours into the night each night. In the day, they look like normal plants, but at night...
   Came out better than I imagined. Everyone who sees them wants me to make them a set! I want a whole back yard full of these eventually.

The flowers are not radioactive, nor am I a horse!

I WANT THEM O____O im guessing you used glow in the dark paint, or you inserted a bioluminescent gene into their genome and it was a GREAT SUCCESS ^_^

Looks like paint to me...but it is very convincing if it is.
Most forms of bioluminesence really can't be genetically engineered yet...

I'm actually approaching this from several different fronts.
I know of 3 different instances where scientists have added bioluminescent genes to plants. It is a very difficult undertaking. I do have a BS in Biochem so I understand the difficulties involved, though it would make for a fun challenge at some point in the near future. The problem with glow paint is that painting doesn't look natural. It has streaks and doesn't transition well between colors. I had to find a solution that made the colors transition naturally while adding texture, and glow paint wasn't an answer. I also love to work with LEDs. They will also be an important component of my yard. The key is to hide them so you never see them, only the light bouncing off plants. LEDs are fun, in fact I put ~900 of them on my car: 1999 Eclipse LED tail lights - YouTube Yes all parts of my life must have craziness in them. I might start selling them, if people here are interested.

SWEET. Those plants are awesome!
The LED lights on the car are pretty cool too. I've been looking to see if anyone could come up with an idea on how to make lamps that look like they're from Pandora. Do you think that could be possible?

EVERYTHING is possible. We are humans, we can do anything we set our mind to
I bet I could make a pandora lamp. I was thinking of doing this with banana leaves, to mimic the ones Netiri ducked under when she was walking away from Jake. They made her jewelry glow - awesome effect.What I need is find really long leaves, so I can duplicate the war bonnet plants. Those are my fav.
