Just thought that was interesting.

If it stretched at more than a 45° angle should I contact a doctor or a botanist?

I actually did a paper on this phenomenon in school I found it quite interesting … on a side note the book “what a plant knows “ is a very interesting read also if ya ever stumble across it !

Great minds…

This experiment was originally conducted by the Darwins (Charles and his son Francis) with canary grass. In 1864 Julius von Sachs discovered that blue light is the primary color that induces phototropism in plants. I think this sort of thing is fascinating btw.

Lol I had too… the info is definitely interesting but I can’t pass up a crude joke served on a platter

If it stays that way for 4 hours or more, consult a Doctor!!! SS/BW…mister
