I need help.
I am having a debate over wether plants have feelings or not.
I say no they do not others say they do.
I have said that plants need a nervous system and a brain also I have
said that plants are responsive to stimuli and chemical reactions.

but this does not help so I need some biology and botanist experts
with some sciencfic proof.

There is no way to *prove* a negative. If plants *do* have feelings,
it may be possible one day to prove it; but there is no way to prove
they don't. (Of course, greenies will say they do, hence the concept
of "Happy plants". ;-)

Cheers, Phred.

Dear Phred
Thankyou for your input and your partly right but if I can have an
expert Biologist or Botanist give me their views and some research
studies to back it up then this would be of great help.

thankyou

Well, I'd say Phred qualifies as an expert.

any substantial scientific evidence one way or another which is what i
need
