这样的颜色以前没有的吗？我见过灰色的，真正银灰色的
难道玫瑰也会忧郁？也会落泪？

咖啡店店歌：
美酒加咖啡
我只要喝一杯
想起了过去
又喝了第二杯
明知道爱情像流水
管他去爱谁
我要美酒加咖啡
一杯再一杯
我并没有醉
我只是心儿碎
开放的花蕊
你怎么也流泪
如果你也是心儿碎
陪你喝一杯
我要美酒加咖啡
一杯再一杯 - posted on 07/01/2004

Model Aya Kato displays the world's first blue roses at a media preview in Tokyo Wednesday, June 30, 2004. The blue roses, that had been thought impossible to create for years, was developed by Suntory and Australian bio venture FlorigenePty, Ltd., using biotechnology. Blue color pigment extracted from blue flowers was added to roses by recombinant DNA techniques.

TOKYO (AFP) - Major Japanese brewer Suntory unveiled the world's first genetically modified blue rose which it hopes will hit markets within four years.
After 14 years of research, Suntory created the blue rose by implanting the gene that leads to the synthesis of blue pigment in pansies.
The color of the new rose comes entirely from the pigment Delphinidin, which does not exist in natural roses, Suntory said.
"The creation of the blue rose was once believed to be impossible. But we have continued our work to produce (it)," Suntory president Nobutada Saji told a news conference.
Conventional breeding technology can create "blue" roses, which commonly appear purple and gray, rather than striking blue. Their colors come from red or orange pigments and the flowers do not contain Delphinidin.
Suntory's rose also appears to be more violet than blue, with company officials admitting more work was necessary to create roses with bright sky blue colors.
"More research is needed to create roses with sky blue. We know we need to add chemical compounds to create brighter blue colors," said Takaharu Tanaka, head of the Institute for Advanced Technology of Suntory that conducts research for biotech business.
"Technologically, we are absolutely successful in creating a blue rose because of the blue pigment in the flower. But for our rose to be recognised by everyone to be blue, maybe we are only a half way there," Tanaka said.
Suntory, also a major whiskey distiller, has spent three billion yen (27.8 million dollars) to create the blue rose, blue carnations and other genetically modified blue flowers.
In 1990 Suntory teamed up with Calgene Pacific, an Australian biotech venture, for the project and bought the firm in 2003, renaming it Florigene Ltd.
Once the blue rose is deemed safe for breeding, Suntory hopes to grow the global market for the genetically modified blue flowers to be worth 30 billion yen.
Suntory officials said it would take at least two and a half years for testing and inspections before the genetically modified plant is deemed safe to breed for the environment.
Suntory hopes to merchandising the blue rose in 2007 or 2008.
"As a company in the food industry, we have developed businesses to enrich people's lives. We have continued research and development activities for our flower operations because flowers adds flavors to people's lives and help sustain spiritual health," Saji said.
