Flowers only give out oxygen when under U.V light, in the process of photosythensis the room looks like it's lit by bulbs - so technically she is right. During the night they respirate and grow - taking oxygen to accomplish their task.

[@kerrykeene6471]

Another aspect about this episode is that Serena was introduced, the creation of Elizabeth Montgomery. I believe she based her on her own cousin Panda, who I've read had a sense of humor. I've heard that about Elizabeth Montgomery, too. Somebody posted that they were surprised that Sam could have children normally. Well, in the episode THE WITCHES ARE OUT, Sam mentions that witches are like anybody else, almost. In SAMANTHA'S CURIOUS CRAVINGS, Darrin asks Sam how does Dr. Anton take her blood pressure? She said, "In the normal way." They're human, but centuries ahead of us in terms of life span and mental abilities. Sam's home is here on Earth and the cosmos. She and her people can travel anywhere in the solar system at will. They also have their own 'universe'.
