Hey, I'm the founder of Revolution
When we first made the video, the idea was to go straight for the punchline; you're giving money to build Petunia Circadia. We came to the conclusion that we wanted to do something that was solidly and definitely achievable on a short timescale since that's been lacking in consumer biotech so far. That meant that we had to pick a slightly less ambitious project to start (the white->red flower), but we still wanted to preserve the vision.
We've modified the video to more accurately reflect the current situation - take a look at tell us what you think: https://vimeo.com/121508228 We're a a little bit limited by the existing footage and the fact that our video guy has gone on vacation, but it should be a bit more accurate.

Seems just /slightly/ dishonest that they blab in the main video about
ANTHOCYANINS and circadian rhythms, only later in a video further down
to mention they are only working on ethanol-induction for white-to-red
color conversion... and then even later mention that starting work on
BLUE (anthocyanins) is a stretch goal.
