Midori - Sweeheart of a Blogging Plant


Hoya kerri


Midori ( 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. "
