Why are we called Searocket Social? You could say we stumbled upon the name!
When we set up Searocket, we wanted a name that would convey all the positivity of our business and ethos but also be relevant to what we do.
We spent hours trying to find the perfect name (most of which were swiftly rejected or already taken). But a trip to the coast won the day. One of our favourite places to be. It’s definitely on our escape list whenever we want to blow some cobwebs away and get re-energised. On our walk, we approached some sand dunes and stumbled across a mass of delicate pink flowers.
a plant with a secret social life
Turns out we had found the searocket, a succulent plant that grows on beaches, with some remarkable abilities. Researchers discovered that the searocket is a master at social interaction. It can distinguish between plants that are related to it and those that are not. If it detects family nearby, it will give it preferential treatment by politely restraining from grabbing all the nutrients. But in the absence of these family ties, it will put down roots, hoard nutrients and claim as much territory as it can. Clever, huh?
“I’m just amazed at what we’ve found,” said Susan A. Dudley, an evolutionary plant ecologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. “Plants have a secret social life – we need to recognize that they don’t only sense light or dark or even touch, but also whom they are interacting with”
