Touch me not

Mimosa pudica, In Latin pudica means shy or bashful. It is also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, shameplant and it is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The remarkable leaf motions of your new Mimosa pudica are called “nastic” movements. Nastic movement is the plants response to things like touch, heat, air motion, and shaking. And, since the leaves close up fast enough to observe in real-time, this ability is also referred to as “rapid plant movement.” The other plant besides Mimosa pudica that’s famous for its ability to move rapidly is the carnivorous Venus flytrap Deliverable
