Well, in a sense, you kind of take them from birth to old age and then on to the next phase of "afterlife".
In that "What Do Plants Talk About" video I posted, it states that plants sometimes "learn" about the creatures who harm/help them through the chemicals in the saliva of said creatures.And then referencing the Hammer Orchid video I posted...what else can you say about an orchid that has evolved to look and smell exactly like a female wasp...and appears before the real female wasps emerge from the ground -so as to get the jump on attracting a male wasp...only to fool that wasp into pollinating it....which does nothing to further the wasp's genetics....doesn't even give the wasp any kind of reward in the way of say nectar or anything....but does everything to further the orchid's genetics? Now if that's not some type of communication, then what would you call it? That's more than just random, natural selection. That's more than a coincidence. It is an exchange of information between species that causes physical changes/behaviors and steers the evolutionary path!
Maybe there is some information exchange happening between plants and growers by way of fragrances...or through smoking them and absorbing the chemicals into our blood....chemicals which give those who are sensitive and reactive to them the ability to learn from them. Cannabis, as illegal as it is, still seems to be a plant that's thriving on the planet. And it's only doing so because of the efforts of humans. Hmmmmm.......wasp + orchid......cannabis + human....
