> Larry thanks for your informative reply. Of course I don't really think plants "want" anything. Sometimes teleological-speak is just shorter.

Of course. Sometimes I like to be very overt, is all. We do speak of what "mother nature" wants, all the time. We are quite happy to personify and imbue our co-vivants with human traits. We bandy about anthropomorphic explanations for things all the time, without much thought.

That's an interesting, but entirely plausible explanation. Thanks. You know, tomatoes were once thought to possess a similar property. They were first grown solely as ornamentals! I can't quite see them in that light, myself.
