    Despite their being living things, we tend to think of plants as inanimate objects. The sped-up footage in this video completely shatters that idea. Obviously, we can see, over time, that plants grow. It just happens extremely slowly. This, however, shows plant growth and movement in a whole new light and, in this particular case, it's quite frightening.

There is no heaven or hell. For now we have this one existence on this beautiful planet. Perhaps when we die we return to nothingness; after all we are all made of the stars. Perhaps there is something beyond our understanding, a higher level of awareness or perhaps a lower level of cosmic consciousness.

    It's a way to keep other competing plants out from their space so that they have enough area for their pads to grow on. It also a way to move the competing plants into concentrations where they'll suffer from other giant lilies. Killing the competing plants helps them out, as without their competitors, they'll have all the area to themselves for a while before their life ends, restarting the cycle all over.
