And Hammer, I think that a rainbow tulip is impossible. Inheriting genetics is not mixing them. A specimen inherits genetics from its predecessor and some genetics manifest, some don't. Although there is biological engineering, you crossbreeded them, therefore, to my knowledge, a rainbow tulip is impossible the way you did it.

If I am wrong, someone correct me.

For the most part you are correct to my knowledge.

It is possible, Hammer would just have to find a genetic source for a "rainbow" gene. And then some other traits may carry over.(ex: the original "rainbow plant" was carnivorous, therefore, the new tulip is also carnivorous.)

IRL, a rainbow gene for a tulip, to my knowledge, does not exist.

The source doesn't have to be a tulip. It could be another plant, maybe even an animal. Think Jurrasic Park, but with plants.

Yes, but is it possible for a specimen to display the colors of the rainbow IRL?

Not exactly a tulip, but rainbow coloration can be found naturally.

Oh.

So beautiful! And Hammer, I was wrong. A Rainbow Tulip can exist.

Unless that bird's genetics does not provide all the colors.
