Does anyone notice how plants thank you for showing them love and 
attention and having a kind word with them every now and again?

This response is out of all proportion to the cost and I believe it 
is what separates the good gardeners/growers from the bad. There is 
even a reference to this in the "Ball Red Book" concerning the grower 
who simply cannot bear to see a plant that is in need (be it for 
water, fertilizer or whatever) and must fix it that instant.

This type of plant - man relationship reaps many rewards for both 
parties and I am sure prompts the responses about plant feelings when 
it is absent.

Time on my hands waiting for visitors
