Many people were fascinated by the blue roses which were displayed for the first time at the International Flower Expo in Tokyo. These beautiful flowers are the results of scientists after 20 years of research.The blooms are genetically modified and have been implanted with a gene that simulates the synthesis of blue pigment in pansies.
"They are attracting lots of attention because they are so unusual."
The creation of blue roses – long thought to be impossible - was masterminded by an Australian-based subsidiary of Suntory, a Japanese company.
If you are fascinated by these blue roses, you need to wait until next autumn when the flowers go on sale commercially.No doubt, these blue roses are awesome but one question from me – is it worth for scientists to spend so many years, money and efforts to develop this Blue Roses?
