@lightningstarsky: Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) . . . A flowering plant native to Central and South America, known for its rapid response to touch. Its leaves quickly fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, and reopen after a few minutes. This movement is called a "nastic movement" and is thought to be a defense mechanism that exposes the plant's thorn-covered stems. The plant also folds its leaves at night. #plants #sensitive #cool #Science #earth #life #amazing #wild #lightningstarsky
