Do plants think? "The dynamics of plant nutation" is an intriguing piece of research published in the journal Scientific Reports. It posits that climbing beans show intent in seeking out structures to climb rather than merely growing until they happen to come into contact with them.

 I believe that plants are sentient though it seems many botanists disagree. Of course it is not the sentience that humans possess so it's not helpful to drift into the realms of anthropomorphism. None the less the myriad of infinitely subtle ways that plants sense and interact with their surroundings both above and below ground seems to me to be a form of consciousness.
