Uri
changes the colour of an Hibiscus flower

All the flowers on the Hibiscus plant in Uri Geller's garden shown in the pictures
used to be white. One summer Uri picked one of them and thought he would see
if it was possible to change it. He closed his hand over it and tried to make
it change. After some concentration he opened his hand and found that it had
changed its colour to purple. He showed it to Joe, who takes care of the garden
and has worked in horticulture for fourty years. Joe was astonished as there
are no other Hibiscus plants in the garden and no way that the colour could
change like this. The following year several flowers on the branch grew with
the same purple colour. It is unlikely that anyone would have wanted to graft
such a plant; this is the only way that the colours could change naturally.
When a plant is undergoing reversion, Joe explains, the whole plant usually
changes within a few years. This colour change has been limited to the one stem
from the trunk and appears to have been caused by Uri's action on the white
flower. It is interesting that an action on one flower can affect the whole
branch. Could the mind substitute another version of reality in which the branch
mutated during growth? Anyone wishing to see the plant or research this, please
contact Uri Geller via the web site.
Some mung
beans were placed on the scanner to see if they would germinate rapidly. The
results are shown below.
