Do plants move?

   In order to stay alive, plants have learned to move and do so in remarkable fashion, for extraordinary purposes and with high, extra-sensory intelligence.  One can perhaps say that plants can actually move but at a much slower pace than humans.
   
   A climbing plant that needs a prop will creep toward the nearest support. Should this support be shifted, the vine, within a few hours, will change its course into a new direction.
   
   " Plants will even grow towards a support that’s hidden from view. Some scientists say, "Plants are capable of intent: they can stretch toward, or seek out, what they want in ways as mysterious as the most fantastic creations of romance."  Some parasitical plants can recognize the slightest trace of the odor of their victim and will overcome all obstacles to crawl in its direction.
