Project Inspired By:
A friend we were visiting in Laie Hawaii, in 2012, who showed us this “funny plant” growing outside their wall.
WARNING: Use of video content is at own risk.
Project History & More Info:
This funny plant is called “Mimosa Pudica” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa_pudica
It closes immediately on being touched by anything with a relative amount of force. I tried touching the plant very gently, and if done slowly, the plant didn’t react at all, however, it will retract after being touched with any object, or being shaken or blown on forcefully.
