And also recently we learned that plants use fungi as telephone lines for inter-plant communication.

Next we'll be finding out that plants have evolved a clever trapping mechanism to feed themselves, not with insects, but with animals as large as, say, sheep. Oh wait...

As gardeners, we might think that we make the plants work for us. We choose the plants to suit our tastes and needs. Is that entirely so? Is it not we that serve them? They're cunning things I reckon. Need to keep an eye on them. They'll take over given half a chance.
