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.
