Okay this is the most honest picture of the bioluminescent firefly petunia I could make. Adjusted exposure time to 5 sec and other parameters to match EXACTLY what I see with my eyes. This is 5mins after grow lights shut off. I swear this is what my eyes saw.

Following my petunia carnage, @light_bio sent me some replacement bioluminescent plants. They really do glow in the dark.

Made a flower crown with my Firefly Petunias from @light_bio and discovered 2 things! One: they smell amazing 😍 and two: they seem to glow brighter after they are plucked! Or at least they appeared much brighter on my nightstand several hours after these pics

@antonioregalado @light_bio Now rather impressed with my @light_bio plant - with lots of fertilizer, sunlight and watering it glows very strongly indeed (when viewed in complete dark) - similar to a strongly luminescent watch - stems and flowers glow strong - but nothing from the leaves
