"Gaby Chaudry" wrote in message ... Helen, Recently I saw a programme about whether or not plants have feelings - some said "of course they don't" and there were others who said they were sure they did. What do you think? I only discovered this thread today, so I'm a bit late in answering.... O.K. My Anthurium didn't bloom since last autumn. On Monday I bought an Alocasia sanderiana and showed it to my Anthurium saying: "Look, how beautiful this plant is! But you, you only produce green leaves over and over, but no flower. What is wrong with you?" Believe it or not: a small inflorescence is showing up since Wednesday! A friend of mine told me that she had a plant which didn't want to bloom, neither. She shouted at the plant: "If you don't start blooming till the end of the week, I will throw you away!". Guess what happened? No, she didn't have to throw it away! You may say: this was just by chance. But I happened to see things like these often enough to assume that they are signs of feelings. Fear or perhaps even jealousy are motives I see in these reactions. Now make a list of all the occasions in which you have spoken to q plant after which it did not respond. For each case you quote in which the plant responded, I will quote you twenty in which the plant did not respond. Franz |
