For it to be a true analog, it would have to be dicks and stuff.
Flowers are a plant's genitals, after all.
Reminds me of this quote from a plant-person explaining his distaste for florists...
"How would you like it if someone cut off your genitals and arraigned them in a vase for people to smell and admire?"

Haha, I love this! :D It’s so cute. But also gets you a good point.
I don’t see how florists can call themselves plant lovers while mangling thousands of live plants for what, decoration? Pleasure? Money? Fantastic.
I mean I love plants too, but the only plants I collect are already dead, like fallen autumn leaves or fallen dry branches. And of course paper and cotton material. xD But I always tell people to „Never give me a bouquet of painfully dying flowers, that’s just sad.“ I love plants, that’s why I love seeing healthy plants outside. Forests, meadows, and so on. Especially during spring when everything is blooming.
Man, it even makes me sad how people grow trees only to hack them down for Christmas, and then throw them away afterwards? That’s just a sad waste of life, man. D: Imagine how many trees are killed only for this kind of pleasure a year, how much the size of a forest that could have been- and how much the size of a forest that is over ten, hundred years.
I wish people would just go to the forest itself and decorate these trees for a day if they need something pretty to stare at. This wouldn’t kill the tree.
Lol sorry that’s just me ranting. :D

True. They're able to feel stress though!
I don't know, still finding it wrong to do it, whether plants can feel or not, they're still living things. Some plants will even defend themselves from caterpillars eating them by producing a sticky liquid that would "drown" these bugs. But this only happens few seconds after the caterpillars are gnawing at them and get to their "nerves" that would trigger that defense-mechanism. Of course the famous venus trap also has a mechanism upon touching parts of its "body", so it can eat bugs. That's enough proof for me to respect plants as living beings. *shrugs*

I'm not really convinced.
The extrusion of defensive fluids could be a reflex, or not even that (could be pockets of the stuff underneath the surface of the plant).
Again, stress is a thing that is a side effect of being primed for action.
A plant can suffer impairments to it's immune system from being transplanted...I guess that might be considered "stress", but I'm not sure if it qualifies as suffering.

Reaction is reaction. Whether it's from a human level of biology or another creature's. The argument that plants don't feel pain as we do does not justifice the destruction of them, nor the destruction of forests or even the extinction of plant races. Plants are important for creating air, preventing mud slides, floods, hurricanes, and they keep earth from turning into a fruitless dry desert (and keep sand storms from happening). Feeding both creatures that eat plants as well as feeding creatures that eat those creatures. But that's just one of many things plants are needed for. Using them for bouquets that last a few days or a month, or for Christmas only to throw them away afterwards is simply a waste, in my opinion.
