We recently discovered the Smithsonian channel on the Roku — some pretty interesting videos to be found! I think I’d have a problem keeping a straight face every time my plant called me with its foreign accent to remind me to water it. Mine would likely call and yell, “Where the hell is our water?”

Hi Graydon. I think the hardest part to wrap my head around was the idea that plants — without brains and a nervous system — are able to interact with their environment with senses. The idea that some of their genes are part of human DNA truly feels as if we are all one.

Hi Vickie. Plants not only have feelings – they also smell trouble coming!

I just finished Animal Wise by Virginia Morell, which discusses the cognitive and emotional abilities of various species–from ants to chimpanzees. It’s certainly intriguing to know that we’re not alone in our thoughts and senses and this Chamovitz book seems like the perfect companion to Animal Wise. Very timely of you.
