What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses of Your Garden - and Beyond | 
so-soShort, plainly explained, reasonably interesting. There‘s quite a bit of dry scientific terminology, but the author—rather successfully—balances it with humor.
(Although, as always, there had to be a cringy—and carelessly inaccurate—line in there on women‘s periods synchronizing, and just... Mr. plant scientist, either just stick to plants, or double-check your data.)
3.0/5

A fruit can smell when its neighbor is ripe.
Plants take aspirin when they're sick.

Plants remember trauma.
Zucchinis like classical music but hate rock—allegedly.
(Or rather—and much more probably—plants are deaf.) 2y
