Cracked article (link) about some very interesting plant behaviour. I'd study plants more closely if they didn't hang around with insects so much.

Now all we need is a plant that refines aluminium and drops it as little nodes of bauxite or alum. It would become so cheap and plentiful that people would never need mine aluminium again.
