“Think about this: plants see you.

In fact, plants monitor their visible environment all the time. Plants see if you come near them; they know when you stand over them. They even know if you've painted your house or if you've moved their pots from one side of the room to the other.”
Daniel Chamovitz, What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses

“My grandmother didn’t study plant biology or agriculture. She didn’t even finish high school. But she knew that she could get a hard avocado to soften by putting it in a brown paper bag with a ripe banana. She learned this magic from her mother,”
Daniel Chamovitz, What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses: Updated and Expanded Edition

“To borrow terms from Freudian psychology: the plant psyche is devoid of an ego and a superego, though it may contain an id, the unconscious part of the psyche that gets sensory input and works according to instinct.”
