Amazing isn't it. I think I remember hearing some time ago that flowers also increase their scent when insects are near in order to attract them.

When a plants are injured, they have a fight response through some sort of sensory cells, sending protein building precursors which in turn send hormones and other chemicals through the plant to signal the rebuilding. Sometimes the response means releasing toxins to ward of danger.

While they don't have brains to register pain and emotions the way animals with complex nervous systems do, plants definitely sense and react to injury.

Amazing.

You imagine if Aliens liked the look of some of us, so lovingly sliced us in half and stuck us in a container of water so they could admire us till we died.

Strangely, yes I have actually considered this! When you think about it, it is a bit of an unusual custom to take the pretty, hardworking part of a beautiful, hardworking organism trying to reproduce and cut it off at its knees for the purpose of giving it to someone as an act of love.


Just don't ask me about how I feel about Christmas trees .
