well it is deemed unsafe unarguably IMO that eating GMO is bad. But is there any research suggesting that flowers pose any risks when GMO? Suppose we could "invent" a grass that demanded far less water than many popular lawns do now. We're not eating the lawn, wouldn't that be a good thing? or not?
If I went to a car dealer and ordered a BLUE car, I would pretty mad to see a purple car when it was delivered, right? Eye of the beholder is right on target, hybridizers want a "blue" flower so badly, they convince themselves that purple IS blue and give them all sorts of bluish names and then enhance their photos to try to trick people into buying them. Everyone can see it is really purple, just name it that way already...
