What do plants feel like? I don't know either.
Many people will tell you flat out that plants don't have feelings at all.
They don't have consciousness, or a soul.
But how do they know? They are no more a plant than I am.
Flora, furthermore, in terms of adaptation and structure, is fare more detailed and diverse than the animal kingdom.
What can we make of cactus, or the venus fly trap? Coconuts 'seem' to have come up with the idea that they could spread themselves around the world by creating fruits that drift across the seas like little lifeboats seeking a new home.
What are we supposed to make of all that.
Finally, most of us are aware that plants make up most of the species on the world's endangered species list, and we are literally losing plants species forever on a daily basis.
Plants are extremely specialized and extremely diverse.
One thing we can say in regards to a plant's well being is that we can clearly see when it is thriving.
Plants are subject to disease and parasites just as animals are, and somehow, when afflicted and clearly dying, they do look sad.
Of course, that is anthropomorphizing, but it is true.
And why do so many people go wild over the plants and flowers in their gardens anyway.
Clearly, the miracle of life is expressed in plants in amazing ways.
There's something about a tall, strong tree that inspires awe.
It is truly an incarnation of stability and strength.
There's something about springy, bouncy plants that are healthy and grow toward the sun that encourage us and give us hope.
If you were a plant in the greenhouse, you would be well taken care of and be protected against diseases and extreme temperatures and weather.
For a plant, a greenhouse might be a very nice place.
