I like plants. I find forests and greenery calming. Interestingly enough, there have been some studies done that hypothesize that plants have some form of consciousness, some of them ‘sing’ and others react in ways we can’t see to various happenings. Some, like the mimosa, which curls up when touched, react in ways we can<\/em> see.<\/p>\n

Plants can heal us. Some even eat ‘meat’!<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t doubt it if they did possess a form of consciousness, though it’s not something everyone agrees on. But I’m pretty sure that the plants, or maybe the earth,\u00a0 just may have a sense of humor!<\/p>\n

Orchids are pretty fascinating, as you’ll see below.<\/p>\n

It took me a little while to compose this post because I went looking for the specific names of these plants. (Some of these have been featured on other ‘Looks like…’ lists, but I think I found more.)<\/em> If I found it, the technical name is the images’ file name. If not, the file name is just a description. If a description is not visible, scroll over the picture and one should appear. These are all real, actual-form plants as far as I know. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Due to the amount of pictures I have, this post was split into a 2-part post so it doesn’t overwhelm and crash anyone’s browser, especially for the folks using mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Here’s Part Two. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Here’s an impatiens, looking an awful lot like a dancing girl in white.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t
