Why True Blue Flowers Are Practically Impossible

Описание: In a world full of green, red, and yellow, the color blue is a botanical ghost. Fewer than 10% of plants on Earth can produce it, and for many, the "blue" you see is actually a brilliant optical illusion. Plants have had to wage a million-year evolutionary war against the laws of physics just to reflect this single high-energy wavelength.
In this video you will discover:
• The Energy Paradox: Why reflecting blue light is a "waste" of fuel for photosynthesis. ⚡
• How plants use "Structural Coloration" to create blue without using any blue pigment at all. 💎
• The Chemistry of Deception: Shifting pH levels and metal ions to turn red flowers blue. 🧪
• Why blue is the ultimate "VIP pass" for attracting specific rare pollinators. 🐝
• The genetic engineering breakthroughs that finally created the first "true" synthetic blue rose. 🌹
Nature hates the color blue, and the lengths plants go to to achieve it are nothing short of miraculous. From iridescent leaves in the deep shade to molecular engineering, this is the secret science of biological blue.
