Daniel Chamovitz - Are Plants Sentient?

The plants in the background are like “crap…they’re onto us”

I've spent many years in the garden and I earnestly believe that plants have personalities. They are more attuned and responsive to their environment than most people.

The invasive vines in my yard "know" how to piss me off.

I have a bog garden of carnivorous plants. The Fly Traps not only sense for more than one hair touched, they will open the trap again if no movement is detected inside the trap. They also detect the sun location and orient the blooms is that direction. (Yes, the bloom just like other plants.) BTW: Excellent video!

Mowing the lawn just becomes a green-bath.

That was an interesting interview! I bet Daniel is an avid gardener.

Questions I had about this interview are, are there inter species communication between various plants? When the plant detects a pollinator, how quickly is it able to change its nectar to entice the pollinator? He mentioned that plants on either side react to the presence of a destructive beetle, is there a differentiation between plants of their own kind or is there any indication if there are changes in response to the beetle among plants of a different variety?

Some plants do have a circadian rhythm, and it is possible they "use" Time . There is a plant called "touch me not" plant .

Such a Wonderful. Amazing Design Has to have a Designer...
