text: do you think plants are telepathic? i read it somewhere that they share emotions..some guy did a test,hooked a plant up to a machine and tested it and it showed emotions to his actions and thoughts..what you guys think? some plants give off pheremones when distressed that warn other plants of the same species to activate their defense mechanisms.  other plants have also evolved to respond and take advantage of these 'alarms'.  does the  plant version of "pain" of being eaten qualify as an "emotion"?  not exactly telepathic in the popular magic brain-brain communication sense, but certainly telepathy if you go by the etymology of the word.
