Did you know a plant possesses all five senses too? A plant uses sight to see the sun through red and blue color spectrums the same exact measure we humans use to determine shape and distance between objects. Taste can be shown in the way plants utilize their roots systems to determine soil conditions and location of other nearby plants. The common phrase “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch” refers to how plants sniff or smell gases to trigger ripening. Touch is observed when within 20 seconds the famous Venus Flytrap slams shut after prey stimulates receptor sights on it’s outer surface. Like a bat determining bait location through vibration plants may respond to sound waves or hearing by changing their growth patterns. People and plants aren’t that different after all. Charles Darwin would concur both plants and animals need and put to good function the senses of sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing for survival. Plants grow toward sound signals and light spectrums, talk over root messages, they even use odor to mature faster; the feel of contact can cause both termination of small life and a meal for certain plants. Plants and people may not act alike but maybe plants could teach humans about how they exist without thinking and then maybe the world could have more humans and more plants too.
