I studied plant signalling/phytohormones during my MSc, it's genuinely fascinating but it doesn't imply consciousness. Cows have a central nervous system. Beyond that, it's magical thinking. You are making an unfalsifiable claim, and that's fine, but please acknowledge that you are adopting a faith-based position here. I could claim the sentience of crystals and be similarly obstinate when challenged.
