Mimosa is a wonderful plant that can predict changes in weather or rain. If you touch it with your hand, his leaves close quickly, and open slowly, which indicates that the weather will be clear; If the leaves of a mimosa shrink slowly, droop slowly, or even close and reopen when touched, it means that the weather is changing from sunny to cloudy or that it is about to rain. Mimosa leaves open and close quickly so it can predict the weather is cloudy, mainly because in the neck of the mimosa leaves, there is a small drum-like parenchyma cell tissue - the leaf mattress, which is filled with water, when you touch the mimosa leaf with your hand, the leaf vibrates, and the water in the lower cells of the leaf mattress immediately flows upwards to both sides, so that the lower part of the leaf mattress is deflated, while the upper part is bulging, the petiole droops, and the leaf is closed.
Therefore, the closure and opening of the leaves are caused by the swelling of the leaf mattress. The turgor effect of the leaf mattress is closely related to the humidity in the air, and the turgor effect of the leaf mattress is obvious when the air humidity is very small, and the closing and opening speed of the leaf is fast. When the air is very humid, the leaves open and close slowly. Therefore, the speed of opening and closing of mimosa leaves indirectly reflects the amount of humidity in the air, which can be used as a reference for weather forecasting.

Plants not only have "memory", but also the ability to "judge". Here's an example: when a calendula is still small, poke 4 small holes in one of its leaves, create an artificial asymmetry, and then cut off the top.
As a result of cutting off the top, small leaf buds slowly grow under the axils of the cotyledons. If damaged, one or two small leaves should be exactly the same. However, scientists measured the small buds that grew for 5 days, and the asymmetrical processing "memory" was manifested in this small bud, and the two leaves turned out to be one large and one small.
Therefore, plants also have "memories".

There are thousands of ways to improve memory, but very few can really work for everyone, and recently scientists have studied a plant and found that it has a beneficial effect on improving people's memory.
This plant is rosemary.
About rosemary.
Rosemary, which is native to Asia and the Mediterranean, is an herbaceous plant with needle-like leaves. It is a perennial plant, which means that once you grow it, it will regrow every year if the growing environment is suitable. The flowers of rosemary are white, purple, pink or dark blue.
The most common use of rosemary is as a spice and can be used in soups, stews, or roasts, etc., and it has some bitter taste. Some people also prefer teas flavored with rosemary.
Industrially, rosemary is also used as a perfume to add to a wide variety of detergents such as shampoos, conditioners, and soaps.
Research on rosemary.
Many scientific studies have shown that rosemary has an effect on memory improvement.
A study involving 28 older adults found that consuming moderate amounts of dried rosemary powder significantly improved memory speed.
In a study that looked at how the smell of rosemary affected cognition, participants were exposed to the aroma of rosemary while performing visual processing tasks and continuous subtraction tasks. As the aroma of rosemary increases, the speed and accuracy of the task increases. Interestingly, as the rosemary aroma was exposed, mood also improved, and the subjects seemed to be in a better mood.
The study, presented at the annual meeting of the British Psychological Society, also highlighted the benefits of rosemary aroma. The study included 40 school-age children who were housed in a room with the aroma of rosemary and another without the aroma. The study found that people in rosemary scent rooms scored higher memory scores than those in rooms without rosemary scent.
However, the findings have not yet been published in peer-reviewed journals.
Another study was conducted on 53 students aged 13-15. The researchers found that when rosemary essential oil was sprayed in a room, their memory of images and numbers improved.
Why can rosemary benefit the brain?
While it's unclear why rosemary might be beneficial, there is a theory that rosemary appears to have some antioxidant properties that can repair damaged free radicals in our bodies that have an impact on our cognition and mood.
The University of Maryland Medical Center makes another point that rosemary can reduce anxiety, and that manuscript bands which in turn may improve concentration.
All of them, studies have proven that rosemary has some benefits for a person's cognitive abilities.
However, while key reed rosemary can help boost our memory, it's important to consult a doctor before you start supplementing your diet with it. It has the potential to interact with other medications, including blood thinners, ACE inhibitors (for high blood pressure), diuretics (such as LASIX), and diabetes medications.

After experiments by Baxter, an American polygraph expert, it was proved that plants have memory.
Baxter had a whimsical idea one day and attached the electrodes of a polygraph to the leaves of the plant.
To prove that the plant has a memory, Baxter put two plants side by side into a room, and then had six people wearing the same costume and face masks walk in front of the plant, and one of them destroys the plant. They were allowed to walk in front of the plants, and when the man who destroyed the plants passed, there was a record of a strong reaction on the paper.

Yale University in the United States once devised a very interesting experiment: first put two plants side by side into a house, and let one person destroy one on the spot. Then let the "**" mix in the team of 6 people and come over one by one.
Afraid that the plant would be "recognized" in person, all 6 people wore masks. Strangely, when "**" approached, the living plant left a strong signal on the instrument's log paper.
No matter what the first bush number of this celery message represents, it shows that the plant has the power of remembering potatoes and cherry blossoms.

Yale University in the United States once devised a very interesting experiment, first two plants side by side in a room, and let one person destroy one on the spot. Then he was mixed in with a group of six people, all of whom were masked for fear of being recognized by the plant on the spot, and strangely enough, when he walked over, the living plant left a strong signal fluctuation on the instrument recording paper. Although it is not clear what this signal represents, it undoubtedly indicates that plants have memories.

Hello, yes, the memory of plants is a very wonderful phenomenon, every year to the node, the memory will awaken the sleeping seed, a life transformation will begin.
