  Former top FBI lie detector expert Cleve Backster went into private practice 
with similar services in NYC.  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.
