At least not Carbon based life...
There are many definitions of what could be a 'plant'. In my book it can be anything of enough mass to hold it's own gravity.
It doesn’t have to be orbiting a star, and could in fact be the moon of another planet while being a planet in and of it's self. In the end I don't think it really matter what one person things, it takes a consensus of people with enough authority to 'change' what The Mass would consider a planet, and even them your going to have Individuals that think differently than The Masses...

They have found binary and trianry star systems out there, and only recently have we been able to detect planets on other star systems. And with billions if stars per galaxy and billion of galaxies in this universe, its only mathematically calculable that at least 1(!!!) does exit.
So the question is not 'is there such a system?' but rather 'now that we found it, what shall we call it?' _________________ SHARKS In The Gene Pool South of Kosovo!
