I saw this some time ago on TV, complete with photos - must be the wierdest thing that surgeon has ever seen!

Well, I can tell you, Oregon doesn't get much sunshine and our fir trees are deep green and gorgeous! But we do get enough sun!!!!

I think this was a hoax. Light is so important for plants of this kind. Now if it had been a deep sea plant, that I could believe!

Fun story, though!!!

Well, my dad always said if I swallowed the watermelon seeds then the plants would grow out my ears!

Yeah, as kids we were given the same warning: "don't eat the seeds or the pits or they're going to grow inside your stomach!"

I always thought that would have been kind of neat cause then I wouldn't have to wait until they went to the grocery store to get my favorite fruits!!!

Don't buy it. If it was growing, where are the roots? Not only that, but it's biologically impossible. Wonder if that site is a branch of the National Enquirer?

Good grief, Nancy!
I guess this thread decided to occupy my brain last night. . . . I dreamed I had an alfalfa sprout growing out of my eyelid!
Ah, the power of suggestion!

Yes this was in the news a couple of weeks ago. I find it to strange to be true. Sure it would get plenty of Co2, but what about sunlight?
