Geocache Description:


* * * The coordinates above will not lead you to the cache * * *

Would you really like to make a statement to that special person in your life by giving them their favorite flower grown in their favorite color on their birthday?

Research plant geneticists are setting the stage for creating roses that are blue, not red. The trick is to find the right genes and mix just the right amounts of three funky-sounding pigments. One is called flavonoids (they've got nothing to do with flavor). Another is carotenoid and a third is chlorophyll, which you've probably heard of.

This has provided me with an inspiration for a cache involving some of my favorite flowers and colors. If the scientists can unravel the color code, perhaps you can unravel the flower/color mystery provided below. Good luck.

Sunflower, Indian Paintbrush, Golden Poppy, Mayflower, Yucca, Sego Lily, Hibiscus, Hawthorn, Syringa, Rhododendron
