What I need is find really long leaves, so I can duplicate the war bonnet plants. Those are my fav.

I like your attitude! The war bonnet is one of my favorites as well. If you go to my albums, you can see where I actually have a tattoo of one.

[Riebs]

Man...I want one(or rather, a couple hundred wouuld work too )

[Ikran_is_not_horse]

Thanks guys! I've started to do this with other plants now, including hyrdangeas and real cacti.

Do you think people would buy them for $20 a piece? They do take quite a bit of time and resources to make.

[iron_jones]

I'd pay infinity dollars for those.

[Human No More]

That's really cleverly designed - I never suspected that

I'm sure people would pay $20 for one... you might find there is too much demand at that point, even.

It's awesome!

Have you ever tried out / worked with flexible LEDs ? They have an easy control to change LEDs colors up to 16.7 million colors.

[amitiri]

I WANT some, If i could I would 1.ask you to make me some 2.steal them 3.on g knows and make them

[Ikran_is_not_horse]

I've looked at flexible LEDs, but haven't found any use for them yet.

I actually have improved the design even more, my brother took some great pics with his SLR. Everyone who has seen them in person absolutely loves them! I shipped some out today, and the girls at UPS went crazy for them, hehe.

I know you guys love the plants of Pandora just as much as me, so if anyone wants a calla lili, $25 plus shipping, or 40 for two. Just tell me what primary color you would like (violet, blue, or green). Roses, hydrangeas, or silver dollar plants will be a little more. Note that white plants will be brighter at night than those with day time colors. I will custom make one specially for you and add other colors to highlight the primary and make it look natural. Prices are super fair for the costs I've put into this so far. Send me a message if you are interested.

100% of proceeds will be used to take this project to the next level, so I can bring your back yard as close as possible to pandora. Just wait until you see the next step, hehe. But that's going to take me some time. If you are in SoCal I can show you what they look like in person.

Simple, they recharge by sunlight, and they glow at night. If you have a black light at home, you will get an astonishingly bright glow if you charge it with the light for 60 seconds and then turn off the black light. I can find my way around the house with a single flower at night, if I charge it up with a black light for a minute!

UV light charges up the violet color much better than ordinarly light bulbs, unless you have like a halogen light bulb and you've removed the uv protective glass over the bulb.

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.

I have always been a big fan of the 2nd gen eclipses... too bad its not a GS-T or GS-X but sir you have built that car up right... i heard LED taillights and honestly thought "Oh no" thinking back to those hideous ricer LEDs, but no sir you proved me wrong you went way custom with them and i like it! and the plants look amazing too!

Oh i see you threw in a turbo anyways =D btw whats the name of the songs in the movie?

[Ikran_is_not_horse]

Thanks man. Yea a lot of people think that a GST or GSX is the only way to go. Until they see what a RS can do with forged internals and a turbo. The fact that a RS can have a 700 lbs weight advantage over a GSX means a LOT for acceleration, handling, and braking. The manufacturer of my turbo kit got his daily driven RS into the 10s. How much faster does a guy need to go in a daily driver?

I forget the name of the first song, but the last song is from a group out of Japan - Aural Vampire. Don't remember the first one, I have to search.

haha i havent done much research in the 2nd gen world for a while since getting my car but you have given me great facts! i remember back when i was looking for cars there was a GS-T Spyder, perfect condition inside and out with 80,000 miles for 10k... i wanted it so badly xD would've been my weekend cruiser probably wouldn't have modded it but yuo have a fantastic car sir
