the scrolled Riders are perhaps the most overtly sentient plant-based being so far elevated above mere Consciousness or awareness into tool using intelligence

one of the Striking images in the book is streams of green seen leaving the Earth plants making a bid for the Stars

This Is War Plant War but takes plant interactions to a new level

Sue Burke's novel of the same name is the most thorough exploration I found of sentience intelligence even in plant life

it's a beautiful exploration of how the past influences the present and how even plant life can carry the wisdom of the ages

this element of the story highlights the unexpected danger posed by the Triffids and adds to the tension as the characters struggle to survive in a world where the Triffids have become a significant threat

it's not just about the plants being intelligent on their own but rather the harmony that arises from their symbiotic connection with the athians it's a reminder that sentence can be found not just within an individual but within the interconnected web of life itself
