This is a bit away from what is normally discussed on these forums, but as I frequent many scientific sites and keep up on many developing subjects, catching this article had me immediately thinking of Sylvari and how beings such as them existing in our real world universe someplace (or some distant future or distant past on Earth) is actually not all that far-fetched.

“A ‘New’ Form of Intelligent Life? Plants Found to Have Memory and Make Complex Decisions”

“In a new discovery, scientists have concluded from their study of Barberry (Berberis vulgaris), which is able to abort its own seeds to prevent parasite infestation, that plants can make complex decisions. The results are the first ecological evidence of complex behavior in plants. They indicate that this species has a structural memory, is able to differentiate between inner and outer conditions as well as anticipate future risks.”

It goes on to state many more fascinating and surprising abilities and one is left to wonder if a race of intelligent plant life could have actually existed once, exists currently, or one day may exist someplace other than in fantasy?

I implore anyone interested in Sylvari to consider taking the time to read this article.

“These new insights shed some light on the underestimated abilities of plants, while at the same time bringing up many new questions.”
