If you talk to plants they grow faster. That is a very well known experiment that was proven true. Plants definitely trade information. Are they self aware and have a soul for each plant, no! They are part of a bigger consciousness and have no in-dependant soul. Read Einstein or Max Planck and read Carl G. Jung too!!!

While plants are alive (meet all necessities of life) they do not have the ability for higher cognitive thought. They may at some level be able to process basic instincts such as fear, but nothing so much as actually being able to think.

They certainly do. Begonias are very partial to the works of Marcel Proust, while rose bushes like to watch NASCAR and tulips enjoy cribbage.

Nah I highly doubt that, they are not capable of conscious thought, when created they were not created with a brain to funtion like animals(mammals) fish or humans...
