In case anybody talks to their plants, yeah they're probably listening. :lol:
According to the latest study, they "cry" in ultrasound frequencies when they need water or have been pruned.. and now they've been recorded.

However if you listen to the recording (scaled up from ultrasound to make it audible to our ears) I think it's a bit much to call it 'crying'. They sound indignant to me! Not losing control of their emotions or nuffin. :roll:
No, it sounds to me like they are, or expect to be, in charge of the situation.... :shock: :mrgreen:

I knew there was a reason I disliked mowing the yard so much...the grass is begging me to stop the entire time.
