Pliant pli’ent adj. (L. plicare: to fold, bend, curve, twist, weave, to double up) Supple and bending easily. Such as: ![](https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t31.0-8/10317683_10203573364839576_4601082313217077284_o.jpg) Agathis australis kauri Araucariaceae Stems and branches are very flexible and may be bent to form a loop. Maori artisans fashion these into rustic walking sticks, called tekoteko.

Cool picture. Would a walking stick work if the wood is flexible or is it treated to make it harden.

Phototropism - the act of a plant to grow towards it's light source. I have some super crazy growing Asiatic Lilly's that I separated last year. I gave away a bunch and there were a few left that had no home. I left them on my concrete walkway waiting to be composted. Well 2-3 lazy weeks later in 90+ temps with no water they turned 90 degrees (angle) and grew a foot or better straight up. Got to love the resiliency of plants. If they want to grow they will. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/1NCUkitzIlI5ObFwfSeh.png)

Frankliniella fusca and Frankliniella occidentalis The twerpy little thrips that vector TSWV. Grrr. ![>:D](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/OTmsRDxgo0g6fZtd6b62.png) Spit when you say their names! (Well I might anyway just because saying Frankliniella fusca and Frankliniella occidentalis with a mouthful of crowned teeth guarantees a bit of saliva) ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/LO3fz8obUsoM1TzmCkAS.png)
