One day in the 1960's (I believe) he got bored and hooked his lie detector up to a plant growing in his office, and to his surprise noted that it registered on the detector. He then started wondering about the plant's ability to emit detectable frequencies, and wondered if he could affect the plant's behaviour. He made menacing moves against the plant (a rhodendren, I believe) and to his amazement saw the lie detector peg the meter. He kept this experimentation up for some time, and found that he could communicate his intentions from one plant to another, and many more amazing examples of human-plant energy exchange possibilities. His story is told in depth in Christopher Bird's book, The Secret Life of Plants. It might change your opinion.
