Using Bioluminescent Petunias to create Glow Worms

- This is video one of our series of experiments with our bioluminescent Firefly Petunia. In this video we start feeding our Budworm the glowing blossoms of our petunia. The goal is to see if the bioluminescent glow of the petunia will continue once it is ingested by the caterpillar.
Thanks for the great garden content. Us RUclips gardeners gotta stick together. Keep hammering!
Always!
Great video! Thank you for sharing it!
We live in Maine and started off with a dozen of these firefly petunias, before we multiplied them using rooting hormone. They are spectacular and we have done a number of experiments that I'll summarize.
I've eaten some of the blooms. My wife was blown away that after chewing them well, the inside of my mouth was glowing with tiny pieces of blooms.
We have an outdoor "group" and an indoor one. The indoor group grows in a 7 ft tall aeroponic tower garden.
Did you know that their roots glow? Brighter than the leaves, not as bright as the pre blooms!
We attached a device called plantwave onto the leaves and blooms. Plantwave uses similar technology as a polygraph, except it translates specific electrical impulses into sounds.
The brighter it glows, the more sounnd it creates...like a symphony!
Hold the leaves between your index finger and thumb gently after bringing it into complete darkness. Your energy helps it light up faster. The proof is in letting go and take hold of two other leaves and watch what happens to stem and leaves closest to it.
We have a lot of fun with them and sounds like you do as well! Happy Glowing!
They are fun to learn about. My students were pretty awestruck when I took it to class.
@@AgTeacherThoughts Thank you for the tips on what to set the camera at by the way, it was very helpful.
At the end of the 5 minute clip, the last 30 seconds show a short video of them rooting and in the aeroponic tower garden.

Maybe if you plant a cutting in a jar with a few new buds growing from it. He might be more inclined to feed from the new growth. That's where the brightest parts of the plant glow.
Weird, but I love it. Let's keep going lol.
Budworms prefer blossoms. Luckily on my plant the brightest part are the new buds. I keep feeding him blossoms. We will see, but no noticeable changes yet.
