Conversation with Datura in heavy pot:

Me: "Come on, let's get you in for the night; It's a bit windy and
I
wouldn't like to see you get blown over. GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU
BLOODY CAT!!! Here's a nice warm kitchen. That'll do 'till the
morning."

Datura: Speechless.

Oh, they may not speak but they do respond.
My wife threatens non flowering plants that if they don't get their
act together, they will end up on the compost heap. Result? 9 times
out of 10, they are flowering within the month.
Uncanny.
