While we’re on the subject of "plant intelligence", here is a great story.
Mark Moffett is an award-winning biologist and photographer who has spent a lot time at the tops of trees studying ecosystems in forest canopies. He talks about his work in a "Best of National Geographic" podcast, and relates a wonderful story about his favourite jungle beast. Surprisingly, it’s not a cute furry animal, but a plant. Not even an exotic plant, but the common monsteras and philodendrons that we’ve seen time and time again in dentist offices, the ones we grow in our own living rooms. These seemingly innocuous houseplants have amazing lives.
