Any article on this topic is unsatisfactory if it lacks a color photo.

1h agoHN ↗

There is a color photo, but the rose isn't actually blue.

2h agoHN ↗

Not actually blue though is it? Kinda purple.

1h agoHN ↗

I would've called it "a sickly kind of purple"

1h agoHN ↗

Are the scientists color blind? The rose is purple.

Bad translation, see the other top-level comment with the origin link that referes to them as violet-blue.
