Hoya kerriMidori ( Mr./Ms. Green in Japanese ) a
Hoya kerri or Sweetheart plant lives in a pot in a restaurant in Kamakura southwest of Tokyo. Since being hooked up to a sophisticated apparatus that measures the bioelectric currents flowing from the surface of her heart-shaped leaves, she's been writing her feelings on a computer. Of course ambient temperature, humidity and lighting seem to be major areas of interest .
Miss Midori Today posts such entries as "
Today was warm , today was cold and rainy or I'm sleepy today because I had to grow a new shoot ."You can send Miss Midori some much needed light using the widget on my sidebar. Click the area under the pot and enter your name. A light will be sent her via computer.
Perhaps her next entry may be "
Today I received light from Chicago. "
Hi Carolyn Gail, I saw this on the news but you do a much better job of explaining it. I will send her/him a ray. Thanks for letting us shine on.
