In the past couple decades, there have been more articles about the awareness of plants.  Do they feel pain?  Do they feel at all?  Perception?  Intelligence?  This fascinating read touches on this.  Plants are awesome!

Mother Nature is very mysterious as she does give plants ways of communicating.

Plants tell us when they are sad.

I can tell when my plants want water.

Plants turn yellow to give us a warning that something is wrong.

Have you noticed that leaves turn to follow the sun?

I haven't read your article though I feel that plant awareness is a real thing.

I am giving your topic a little bump to see what others have to say.

Thank you, Anne!  Life is amazing!  It is truly a wonder how plants respond to us and their surroundings!
