transportation security hydrangea

Plants are incredible! Did you know that they change color? Okay, maybe you did know that. Trees do it every year, so it's not that surprising.

But, some plants change color when they're scared! Some plants detect dangers in the air and will change from green to white to "trick" the danger into leaving it alone, I guess.

Scientists are trying to create plants that smell bomb-making stuffs so they change color when they smell it. So if you're going through airport security and you see a plant next to the metal detector, that plant MIGHT BE SMELLING YOU!

If you smell bomby, then you might get arrested. If you smell like water, it might hug you. I don't know. I've heard they can genetically modify plants to hug, too.

I like to hug plants. They grow better with hugs. And Miracle-Gro plant sticks that you put in the dirt. Those are like hugs for the roots. And snuggles for the apical meristem.

It's nice.

I'm off to hug a plant.

Enjoy Everything.
