I have a whole new appreciation for plants, the central life on our planet! Without the light eaters, there would be no us, but without us, plants will do just fine. I had my mind blown so many times while reading this book, and there‘s still so much we don‘t yet know about plants. Venus fly traps can count?? So many in the sciences are resistant to the idea that plants can “know” and “feel”, but hopefully new research is helping to change minds.

JenniferEgnor I read this one years ago, it was really interesting! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13166639 4mo

The botanists are beginning to think there may be a plant consciousness and I am simply overwhelmed by this information. Super fascinating and highly readable account of the massive shifts happening in plant science.
