    Absolutely fascinating post!! I liked the theorem as well as the idea that plants cannot move and hence cannot possibly eat one another. Gives me an idea. Suppose you plant them very close to one another, then locomotion will not be a necessity for one plant to catch hold of another. And in that case, your son's argument is the only one that will survive.

    I also enjoyed his conclusion that a VFT is a fascinating carnivorous plant. And then I went back to your question once again. Can a VFT eat a VFT? I don't know the answer for sure. But I have a new question. If VFT consumed another VFT, how would your describe it? A non-vegetarian vegetarian?

    Incidentally, Satyajit Ray wrote a lovely story for children about a carnivorous plant. I am sure an English translation is available.
