Came across this article on the Scientific American website.....http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-plants-think-daniel-chamovitz/

There's a book to add to the library.

So, do you think karma will have it's way with us??

plants are complex organisms that live rich, sensual lives.

Yeah, Baby...

Darwin proposed that the tip of the root, the part that we call the meristem, acts like the brain does in lower animals, receiving sensory input and directing movement. Several modern-day research groups are following up on this line of research."

Other plant parts are meristems (capable of cell division): is there a bud-brain hypothesis?

Hmmmmm...... maybe we look at plants in the wrong way. Could it be the root tip or portion that Darwin considered to by alike to a brain is the akin to individuals such as ourselves? That the cluster of our urban centers is much alike to the plant itself, the factories where we produce the necessary elements that enable our survival?
