The Secret Life of Plants

[Ruth]

I am interested in the secret lives of plants!

Whitefeather - the Mom plant I mentioned earlier is a so called "spider plant" or airplane plant. She didn't want me to take her picture because she isn't looking her best right now - it is already very cold here and my grow light was out for a couple of weeks. Still she has managed to put off a couple of new "babies" which she has encouraged me to take from her and plant in their own pots so they can begin to mature on their own.

People often think I'm kidding that this plant speaks to me, but I'm not. I love her as much as I love my cat!

It does surprise me somewhat that there are not more of us here who feel so connected to plants and recognize their ability to feel and communicate. I feel that the veggies I grow in my garden "feel" delighted to know that I will harvest them and eat them, thereby allowing them to become part of my reality, to interact with the other "beings" that live inside my body, etc. etc. I feel that my veggies are sometimes far more intricately aware of the dance of life than I am. I learn from them and give them thanks!


Love and light!
