Genetic Engineering of Flowers
Genetic Engineering of Flowers

My childhood memories are filled with the fragrance of flowers.
American Chronicle: Genetic Engineering of Flowers
How have we allowed genetic engineering of flowers to progress so far that young adults today are not even aware that various flowers once had beautiful fragrances? I am told flowers are being altered to increase their size, colour and bloom time. I haven't noticed that cut flowers last any longer, but some varieties do, indeed, come in stunning new colours, but at what expense?
