Houseplants in Tehran Begin Wilting from Stress, Say Experts

A group of botanists in Tehran claims the city�s houseplants are wilting from secondhand anxiety. �Photosynthesis has become photosufferage,� said Dr. Roya Zadeh, watering her cactus while crying. Plants are reportedly reacting to human panic, refusing to bloom, and some succulents have even �rolled off windowsills in protest.� One ficus was caught leaning toward the door. Nurseries now offer �trauma-resilient foliage� bred to withstand emotional neglect and missile whines. Government officials urge calm, reminding citizens that �green things cannot judge you.� But the plants know. The plants always know. SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
