Dear all,

I came across this article by Michael Pollan in the December issue of The
New Yorker about intelligence in plants (and other things).

We just had an exchange about possible reaction of plants tin presence of
wireless devices on this list. That discussion was more about proper
experiment design than the larger literature on plant life.  But that
literature is very interesting and Pollan does a great job of presenting it
focused on plant intelligence.  (By the way, I do talk to my plants but
much less than I talk to my cats).

Here is the link to the article--it is like all New Yorker essays long.
