  In India plants are not disturbed after evening because they may be resting.<br><br>Inspired by the belief, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose(1858-1937), one of the most prominent first Indian scientists who proved by experimentation that both animals and plants share much in common. He demonstrated that plants are also sensitive to heat, cold, light, noise and various other external stimuli. Bose contrived a very sophisticated instrument called the Crescograph, which could record and observe plants minute responses to external stimulants.

  I am old and one summer day, resting and pondering things in the shade of my porch, &nbsp;I felt this &quot;odd&quot; urge to thank the potted flowers for being so fragrant and beautiful. &nbsp;Then,I saw a butterfly with tattered wings visiting these flowers. &nbsp;I then thanked the butterfly in the same spirit as the flowers.<br>I felt good about the whole experience and felt connected to living things and nature as a whole. &nbsp;The whole experience induced me to wonder if I touched on something deeply profound and devine.<br>I am sure I did....it was an experience much deeper than church and it&apos;s rituals.<br>You are the first to know of that day.<br>Thanks for reading my account.

  I wonder how many kids are going to win a science fair by copying this.

  Am I the only one that felt sad that the fly only closes a few times and it had its action potential wasted? Poor flytrap! Awesome video!

  Biology would have been so much more exciting seeing this displayed.

  I probably learnt more in these 9 minutes than I did from a whole year of biology

  there is a common saying in our literature that &quot;Even if you insult/abuse a plant for a longer period of time eventually it will die&quot; for sure this saying is not based technically on science but reflects the sensitivity &amp; emotions plants got
