Odd Moving Plant

I was in Costa Rica and noticed this plant was touch reactive, and I thought it nifty enough that I decided to video tape it.

It's called a Mimosa Pudica. I'm currently growing one from a seed from packet that I ordered off the internet.

Yea, I've never gotten around to renaming the video. I have a little house garden thing and it's one of the plants that came w/ the garden. I believe it's also commonly called the "Sensitive Plant".
