Oh my goodness I almost forgot I could ask here!! It is probably a long shot because I found these a long time ago on Metropolis grid (sad they are gone :() by pure chance because I was lost. Anyway. "They" are alien plants and there were 4 or 5 or 6 different configurations of the same roundsih shape, and when you approached they would make this beautiful alien sound. I don't know how I managed to lose them, but I did. I think we all have lost a lot more than we were able to save over the years. Which is why we love this group!! Yep, I am a weirdo so if anyone out there has these alien plants or knows where I can find them...that would make my Christmas for the next 5 years! Thanks. Happy New Year!!!

It seems unlikely that you will find the specific plants you seek. Here are some tips on making your own. Misty, and perhaps others, have, or can help you find, alien plants. Someone likely has, or can make, a proximity detecting sound-playing script. Then, do a search for "free sound effects alien." You will find a lot of sites. The top site, Pixabey, has several. I listened to a few, and the "Intergalactic Communication - Science-Fiction Sounds" might work. https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/search/alien%20sounds/
If you do make one, I'd love to have a copy.

I went to Transgenia (sp?) and was able to get a copy of a lot of the plants there. The plants I was looking for were not there. A few of the plants have alien-like sounds, but not the sound I remember. Maybe the ones I am looking for were not from there, it was so long ago that I acquired them and there were 4 or 5 of the same plant in different configurations, like a lone plant or 2 or more stalks where they flared out in a roundish shape at the top. They made the koolest sound when you approached them and stopped as you walked away. I am pretty sure they were flexi so moved with the wind, but I could be mistaken about that part.
I still have the Proximity sound script as I saved it to a flash drive and use it a lot in my region so everything isn't making noise all the time all at once. I would still have the plants if OSgrid had not had a meltdown a few years ago as I had transferred everything to my avatar there thinking since it was such a large grid, my assets would be safe. :/ :( Anyway...the plants are lost and I think the only way to get them is for a miracle to happen.
So yes!!! I am making my own or using the ones I found and using the scripts I need to make them behave the way I want. I am not a scripter, only a fiddler, so if I need help with scripting, I may be bugging a few people.
Thank you Nico for the suggestion of looking for sounds and providing a link. I have brought in a lot of sounds that I use, but I wasn't even thinking of looking for alien sounds, so thanks! I have made some sounds as well using the recorder in Windows. There is a long breath sound I use as part of the whispers in the forest, and that is me! :) It might be fun to experiment with making alien sounds too. I will have a look at what is out there too.
Thank you to everyone who has helped on this quest. You all ROCK!!!

I looked at the Kitely Market Place and saw nothing like the plants I remembered. Today, I went to the Kitely grid to look at the region, Transgenia and I think that maybe this was the place I visited years ago. I thought it was on Metropolis Grid, but it was more likely on OSgrid since they were once located there. Sadly, the plants I am looking for are not there. Thanks to everyone who has tried to help. Time to go to Plan B. Thanks again!

I wonder if was originally by Transgenia.
Transgenia is a wonderful shop and I think I have this exact item by them in Sl/ "the big grid". They have all sorts of noisemaking alien things. The question would be is it legal or not? That would change where you would find it. Legal it would probably be their Kitely area(which can be found on kitely search)...but maybe not free. Illegal/botted it might just be in one of those infamous "Stuff" boxes, which I imagine might be in Marche Noir(since another store, Cerridwen's Cauldron, also had something similar but as far as I know was SL only-and they are in a lot of "Stuff boxes").

Thanks for mentioning Marche Noir. I haven't found any such plants, but so far I've only taken a look at boxes from 2016. There are four more years of boxes still to unpack. I'll post if I find them.

I only saw them at this place on the Metropolis grid, never anywhere else. I looked through the Transgenia stuff on the Kitely Market as I would pay for them if need be, but I saw nothing like these plants. I also looked on SL Marketplace, just to see if they are in their shop, but nothing. I honestly don't think they were the creator, but I could be wrong. Thank you for your response. It was helpful in any case. :)

I have some on my region, they are in a dome and in planters, should be set to copy, if you like

Thank you, Misty. Though they are lovely alien plants, these are not the ones I am looking for. I believe they were made from sculpts and they made an alien sound when you got near them.

If you go to the Transgenia region on Kitely there should be tons of freebies for folks who visit. Daniel Hoffman rocks that way:)
