We have learned that when plants are attacked they release chemical signals into the air but that is like an exclamation similar to OW.
There is a more diverse conversation rich with more a complex analysis of their enviormental status underground by way of thread like mycellium of fungi and mushrooms The fungi help deliver water and are rewarded with sugar from the roots of plants. This grape vine conversation, so to speak, is similar to a phone or internet connection. This 'treemail' can cover vast areas or none at all. Plants that 'pay' more, get a better 'neural net' connection.

From what I know about Amazonian cubensis I can say some fungi communicate with humans in ways I might have thought impossible.
Still beauty/information is in the mind of the beholder.

I bet Stevie Wonder, composer of the Secret Life of Plants, would like this.

Hey follow maples, there's a whiff of cottonwoods upwind, let's drop our winged pods and keep their g-damn tufted prgeny from polluting our access to the sweetwater...

In the 1970s in Sydney, at least, gardeners were playing music to their plants; others were keeping painted pebbles as pets.

Gives new meaning to the stage shouts of "rhubarb!" during mob scenes.

Has Mr. Red been transmogrified into Severn? It may be contagious.
Could it be something in the mycellium?

Nope, Mr Red has always had a talent for succint irony.
