Friday Flower 007: Petunia 💮✨
Petunias carry the active transposon dTph1, which powers mutant screens and paints stripey patterns as it jumps.
Their five petals are fused, with diverse color designs tracing the corolla’s fusion seam.

So I am absolutely going to host a Flower Design symposium in 2030. This is a formal call for designers. We have @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social with his beautiful Arabidopsis roses, and I'm likely giving my life to my Alice Petunia...but we need more people. Where you at?!

Friday Flower 001: Mimulus lewisii 🌸✨
Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.
