MessageS,
I was refering to the light traveling within the plant in this article(see quote below). It sounded similar to something I saw in this documentary that I can't remember the name of. BTW most things don't give off visible light they reflect it, unless they are luminesant. Thats why they can't be seen in the dark. The film I saw said that all organic material gives off photons or light not just reflect it but seeming to produce it. I don't think that light is visible to the human eye though, because they needed special equipment to see the photons being given off. It was very interesting though.

"They were trying to establish exactly how organic photosynthesis approaches
95% efficiency, whereas the most sophisticated human solar cells operate at
only half that. What they discovered is nothing short of remarkable. Using
femtosecond lasers to follow the movement of light energy through a
photosynthetic bacterial cell, Engel et al. observed the energy traveling
along every possible direction at the same time. Instead of following a
single trajectory like the electrons on a silicon chip, the energy in
photosynthesis explores all of its options and collapses the quantum process
only after the fact, retroactively "deciding" upon the most efficient
pathway"
