ability to communicate with plants theme
A character is able to communicate with plants (for this purpose including fungi and other non-animal eukaryota should it ever become topical) in a way that resembles and is comparable to how we humans communicate with each other.
Notes
This theme almost certainly requires the likely fallacious assumption that some plants have the cognitive ability to process the ideas humans express.
Examples
In talesoftheunexpected4x07 "The Sound Machine", botanist Klausner invented a machine that translates the high frequency waves plants (supposedly) make into human audible sound, and found that they scream in recognizable anguish when assaulted.
