This is very touching to me. I had a friend long ago who did some work attaching something like a lie detector to plants and watching how they reacted when they were talked to kindly and with mean words. I remember them telling me of some very interesting results. There was a book called , "The Secret Life of Plants" that talked about this as well. PS...The I'm not a robot "test" took so long I almost cancelled the whole thing. It went from motorcycles to more motorcycles to busses.....
