How about flowers with plaid blooms, keyed to specific family tartans.

Or plants that have been crossed with fireflies that produce flowers
that
glow in the dark.

Aha, you must've seen the same article about the recombinant DNA
experiments that produced living glow-in-the-dark tobacco plants, &
glow-in-the-dark mice, by splicing in firefly genetic information!! Who
says science fiction can't happen?

More often the genes of a glowing jellyfish are used, as in the potatoes
plant that has been created to glow in the dark when the field it is growing
in needs water. The potatoe itself is non-edible, but is used as a marker
beacon to tell farmers not to water the field yet. They have also already
made a tomatoes that grows in salty soil and removes the salt as it grows,
making the field fit for other crops. Some really neat stuff going on, no
doubt about it. I WILL have a true blue rose someday.
Look under 'transgenic' for a huge array of stuff that is growing in your
neighbors field and barns TODAY.
