Can Plants Remember Things? by Celia Berrell

Leave a comment

Plants have no brains
but scientists find
that trees seem to think
and weeds change their mind!

Mimosa we know as a
sensitive weed.
It folds up its leaves
when a threat is perceived.

Repeatedly dropped
on a soft mat of foam
Mimosa stops folding
as foam does no harm.

Days and weeks later
no folding leaves shows
when dropped on soft foam
Mimosa still knows!
