Default Re: The secret life of plants

Yes they do move, the interesting thing is that they follow the Coriolis Effect. Things like the vines in the picture above and the stems of creeping grasses all twist (torsian) one way above the equator and the same exact plant will twist the opposite way below the equator. This is a well known scientific fact in the field of horticulture. They have yet to figure out why in the mainstream.
