Plants behave like humans

Plants behave like humans: Don Burke :

"Who says so? Australian gardener Don Burke and Australian National University chemistry Professor Ben Selinger, in reviewing research on plants over the past 10 years, have come to the conclusion that many plants have human qualities."

Maybe that is why plants respond to being spoken to! They have feelings! Apparently they can change their chemical balance to attract or repel insects. I am not sure they are that good when it comes to repelling snails. The chemicals can also send messages to other plants. Folklore has a lot about trees talking to each other and it is something we have had in various stories so maybe it is true!
