I read that plants can recognize their relatives,
and that sounded bizarre to me
because I know plants don’t possess a
consciousness,
so how can they possibility have an awareness
of family members?
And does that mean they have sisters, brothers,
aunts, uncles and grandparents?
It all seems so absurd and unbelievable to me,
yet I just read plants can recognize relatives
by “chemical cues released by their roots,” and
can distinguish their relatives that way.
Now I wonder if plants have family picnics
and family get togethers?
