    They communicate in so many ways via their roots and chemicals but if they were to speak like us what would they sound like? I'm thinking this..

    'Hello, Extremely! It is always nice to meet (hah) my GOOD FRIEND the human. Do you now 'hello' go too? it is *too funny! How is %your house *smelling*%? Plants likes to smell the bubbles of happy campers! And then it is time for @parties@ and <squeezing the juice > ! Stay squishy beloved huugenam.'

    A plant documentary not to be missed? This one

    I saw this one on our PBS station a couple of years ago, extremely interesting.

    A few of my plants - if they could speak - might run in terror screaming "Oh no here she comes again!!"

    On the other hand the plants downstairs might be gasping through parched lips "Where is she? Waterrrrrrrr"

    :) :) :)

    IF plants could speak the THINGS they could tell :)

    My house plants think they're all kamikaze's and doomed to commit suicide or die a lingering death through sheer neglect. Only the strongest willed survive here.
