Two glossy probably unplayed records in VG+ sleeves...see pics. "Are plants intelligent? Can humans communicate with botanic beings? No one knows for sure. "Side One of this record represents a non-scientific effort to record the complex electro-chemical activity of an Indian azalea, a philodendron, a Boston fern and an amaryllis. The four plants are heard in the above order. They were recorded using a specially constructed"plant amplifier" at the U.S. Botanical Gardens on separate tracks of a professional four channel tape recorder. The "sounds" of each plant have been mixed together to form a composite stereo sound. There have been no special electronic effects added. "Side Two uses the same recording; however, each of the plants' signals have been fed into a massive electronic music synthesizer. The result is presented as musique concrete. Both the human wave from musician and the plants control the synthesizer's output."  Records  glossy but some handling marks. Quite scarce.
