Parasitic SMELLING Plants

http://www.phschool.com/science/science_news/articles/scent_stalking.html

volatile- easy to evaporate
impatiens- an East African plant with abundant red, pink, or white flowers. It is often grown as a houseplant, and its many hybrids are grown as bedding plants.
parasitic- infest as like a parasite

Scientists found out that a dodder plant (more like a weed) is attracted to scent. They ran tests on it & found it is more attracted to tomato plants. It was labeled among the top 10 worst weeds. When it sprouts it doesn't have roots, it just has to find a good host to cling to. It was even attracted to perfume! This means scientists have found it to be the only one to grow toward scent.

I am glad we don't have dodders around here. But i don't know, there could be some. I think it is pretty cool it is able to get the chemicals from the air and grow toward the victim plant(kind of like a blind tiger). Although it doesn't kill the plant i still wouldn't like them around here.
