Have you ever heard of a quadruple rainbow? If not, then there is no worry as they are very rare, and such a phenomenon happens only occasionally. But a very lucky New Yorker managed to capture such a rainbow on camera and shared the inspiring picture on social media platforms.
One early morning in 2015, while waiting for her train to work, Amanda Curtis noticed the quadruple rainbow over the Long Island skyline. Curtis is the owner of an online marketplace for indie fashion designers, called the Nineteenth Amendment, and thought that this beautiful image can inspire her co-workers, so she took a shot of it. At first, many accused her that it’s a hoax and she Photoshopped the rainbows on the image, but quadruple rainbows like this are still a real phenomenon. Rainbows occur when sunlight hits droplets of water in the air and when the reflected light is reflected for a second time, a double rainbow is born.
Raymond Lee, a meteorologist at the US Naval Academy in Maryland confirmed the existence of double and quadruple rainbows. Curtis managed to witness such an amazing moment and luckily, she had enough time to capture it for posterity too.

So here is a great idea: create your own rainbow roses. It may not work out perfectly for the first time, but it is worth trying. You will need some food coloring, scissors, white roses and some patience. The first step is to decide how many roses you want to color as you will be making one at a time. The next step is to split the stem with the scissors, you will need to split it in as many colors as you want your rose to be. Then just take some plastic cups, fill them with water and put different colors of food coloring into them. The color will become much more concentrated and darker when using more food coloring. Here we used some neon colors for a brighter effect. Then be sure to place each part of the stem in a different cup. We advice you to use small cups, as they will have to be placed very close to each other in order for your roses to be perfect by the end of the process. After this the rose will start to absorb the colors. It can take from 1 to 2 weeks as it depends on the type of rose. When they acquire the color you want, just take them out of the cups and place them in a vase. And then you can enjoy your rainbow colored roses.
