Default Re: The secret life of plants

The first time I saw plants communicate was when I lived in Nairobi and while luxuriating under some palm trees after a good swim I was lazily looking up at the sky and branches and suddenly I realized that what I was looking at was a patterned motion that clearly told me these trees were communicating. I never forgot that.

Now my lovable cockerpoo ``beams`` me all the time and I am used to his thought beams.

There was a lovely petunia plant in my front yard and like a good Japanese gardener I dreadfully deadheaded it until finally it got the message across to me to stop doing that and I stopped and to my surprise the plant is still putting out blooms and still green at this time of year in Toronto, Canada.

Yesterday it finally told me that I could bring it inside and remove the seed pods and give it a good trim. I thought petunias are annuals, so I`m not sure why this petunia plant wanted me to bring it indoors....

Also I noticed something and hubby has witnessed it: I can stand in front of a plant that is even indoors where there is no breeze and somehow a wind starts blowing it when I focus on the plant and the leaves start moving.

I`ve hugged some trees before but never felt that return of love that a previous poster described -- must be wonderful.

cheers
