Beware the new SmartPlant 2.0
The Great Lakes sea rocket might seem like a harmless weed, but behold, it could just be the smartest plant in the world.
That's because the sea rocket has an important characteristic, it is able to recognise family members. Yes, that's right family members as in father and cousin, not just plant from its same species. And just like any other human family, they try not to suck nutrients out of each other but go attack other plants instead.
Beware, it's the attack on the tomato plants.
And as we go about our daily lives in ignorance of the plant, soon it will establish a mighty plant dynasty that suck nutrients from our brains.
