Do plants and animals indulge in Zikr all the time? Any reference in terms of Qur’an and Hadith to this? Also have you come across any scientific evidence of this?

All the creations of Allah Ta'ala do the Dhikr of Allah Ta'ala. The Qur'aan mentions, 'And there is nothing except that it does the Tasbeeh (glorification) of Allah, but you (O man) do not understand its Tasbeeh.'

There is no need as such to acquire plants for this purpose, for if it was an act of virtue, the Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) would have acquired plants for this purpose.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
