Question: Do you know if plants can express their feelings?

I don’t know for sure, no- it’s a big debate on whether plants can communicate or maybe even have feelings. If they do have feelings and can express them, I’d imagine they’d do it through chemical signalling, the same way we know plants can communicate things like danger to each other. For example, the smell of freshly cut grass is actually the smell of the cut grass going ‘aaa!!! danger!!! prepare yourselves!!!’ to warn the rest of the grass.
