[Tina44323]

Just google TickleMe Plant. My students go nuts over this plant. Check out the TickleMe Plant Classroom kit and the TickleMe Plant Party Favors...not to mention the New TickleMe Plant Book. Love this plant

[supersonicwind1]

So... the flower blooms and dies the same day?

[TheMrBlinx]

We always called 'em a "Touch Me Not" plant.

Beautiful CELTIC music from an IrishCelt who shares my last name...

[buddiereedindeed]

The TickleMe Plant will instantly close its leaves and lower its branches when you Tickle It and RE- open in 15 minutes. Just search TiclkleMe Plant to easily grow your own indoors. It is not like the venus flytrap and is very easily to grow. and wont hurt a fly

[MrMMABoy]

where can i get tickle me plant?

[ticklemeplants]

@MrMMABoy ticklemeplant com

[CarzeeNetwork]

this is only just similar to a venus flytrap, the leaves have tiny trigger hairs, that make the leaves open and close

[Katjespukeko]

Acutally a bamboo can grow up tp 100 cm in a day AND there are plants which can move themselves freely in water: Algae

[forrj131]

we call this plant "makahiya" here in the Philippines, literally translated as "shy"

[12345franny]

[CornellEDU]

I love watching this video over and over again!

In answer to the Question - "Where can I buy a TickleMe Plant?" Search TickleMe Plant as there are many sources and some even have complete greenhouse growing kits. It is a great green gift for anyone who likes plants,gardening, science or nature.

[MYLENEFARMERgautier]

where and how i can buy this plan ..i loved it . and it look fun and pretty

[googlephi]

If mimosa trees grow near you or a relative, just get some of the dry seed pods off the ground in the fall. The seeds are very easy to grow.

[JayashriV]

gosh. rather than banish my fear, this video has made me even more fearful. There's no name for this phobia. gahh

anyway, it's a really good video. The rate at which this plant grows is amazing! In 5 days, from a bud to flower to shoot!

It's so fast it's scary.

Thanks. :D

[simdude2u]

What time of the year does the plant flower?

[sueperone]

Ahh after looking more closely at your tags I see that you name it DOH

[sueperone]

I think that plant is the Mimosa pudica am I right?

I remember growing them in the green house at school many many years ago.

[Yakshinian]

Those things are great! They grow as weeds here. I never knew the flowers bloomed in rapid succession! Neat!

[mindlapse]

Hi, germination time will depend on temperature of course but you should start to see some growth in about a week or so.

The plant grows slower then radishes or beans, more like the growth rate you might see in a tomato seedling.

The music was by Ryan Holladay Road To Donnelaith (instrumental) [CD:New Kid In Town]

Hope this helps, ML

[nauticalnut75]

very cool, I am growing a few of these from seeds now. How long will this take? Also cool music, what is it?

[fsjd3akd]

is that the same bud re-blooming over and over?

[mindlapse]

Hi, no - each bud blooms one time only. The bloom only lasts about half a day then another bud blooms. Sometimes more then one at a time too.

Later, ML

[wild663]

wow. thats cool. how did the plant keep re-blooming? thats awsome

[CornellEDU]

Use this enlightening video for students in graduate and undergraduate classes. Our teachers use it in their curriculum to motivate students to learn about plants in classrooms grades K-12.

It demonstrates to children that plants are magical living things. It excites students and makes them aware of the wonderful nature of plants. They watch in awe a as the bud opens into a cotton candy flowers and see the example of thigmotropism of this sensitive plant. Each student grows a tickleme plant.

[worldwideflyby]

that wasn't that good, and I've seen those plants before at the Eden Project.

[pilotchip]

Wow! That's pretty amazing! Great time lapse footage.

Can I buy that plant?

[mindlapse]

Hi pilotchip, thanks for the compliments. Sorry the plant in the video is MY pet plant, you can't buy it ;-)

Seriously, seeds are available for this amazing plant from the link in the picture at the start of the video or try:

Take care, ML
