They look purple to me, but Miki and Ruka would approve.
Flowers without names blooming in the field can only sway in the wind. But I was born with a destiny of roses, born to live in passion and glory.

Re: They look purple to me, but Miki and Ruka would approve.
I see purple too...
I've seen REALLY convincnig Miki blue roses for sale, though the Ruka ones did leave some to be desired, but still still amazing, even though died.
If I see more, I'll buy and take pictures, but I haven't in nearly two years.

I think that's awesome. Now we just need green ones and we can have the complete Seitokai bouquet. It's too bad it'll be a while before you see these in rose gardens though...I hate being patient.

If it was more like 4, then it would be borderline blue at least but I'm still waiting for roses that look more like 5 or 6.

The more I look at them, the more I can't help but think they look a lot closer to Akio's rose than any other.
Now we just need to genetically engineer Akio

Re: They look purple to me, but Miki and Ruka would approve.
They're purple, dangit. Purple! 
This has nothing to do with the fact that I wrote "The Purple Rose Saga" and everything to do with the fact that they're purple in every sense of the word.
Almaser: Yes please.

I agree with Tamago; I'm awaiting a TRUE blue rose. (haha...pun. Get it? "True blue"?)

Re: They look purple to me, but Miki and Ruka would approve.
I saw some other pictures in the newspaper that looked more blue than those on the web. Maybe it's a lighting thing...

Those already exist. I've seen them in person. Not dyed, either. Those were sold alongside them, for cheaper price.

To genetically engineer Akio, you must first genetically engineer Dios, THEN somehow splits him in half. It's a very tedious process to artificially create the Lightbringer.
