How to make really gay rainbow roses

Here's how to make your flowers as gay as possible

08.30.2011

This is pretty much the gayest flower ever. Want to make your own? Here's how: (via unicornbooty)

In 2004, two Dutch companies, River Flowers and FJ Zandbergen, experimented and successfully grew a rose with rainbow-coloured petals. As petals get their nourishment through the stems, the idea is to split the stem into several channels and dip each one in a different colour of water. This way all the colours will be drawn by the stem into the petals and resultant rose will have all the colours in it. The same method can be applied to other flowers, especially chrysanthemums and hydrangeas, to colour any flower any way you like.
