Actually, experiments have been done that suggest that possibly, plants are more "conscious" than we animals have supposed--that on a primitive level, they are aware of what's going on, and that when threatened, they attempt to protect themselves from anticipated or further harm.
But they're definitely not as smart as animals, because if an onion were REALLY smart, it would uproot, turn its roots into legs, and get the hell away from the person that wants to toss it into the spaghetti sauce.
