phototropin How do the flowers look at me?

All plants bloom to produce seeds and wither easily without hesitation.
People are healed by looking at flowers, which are pretty, healthy, and mysterious, but what does the world look like from the perspective of flowers that are constantly being watched?
Phototropin is a protein that plays the role of "eyes" for plants to see light.
I would like to think about the role we play in plants from the viewpoint of flowers.
