Amazing Moving Plants!

This tripped me out when I first saw it. The plant's leaves fold closed when you touch it. (Mimosa Pudica in a small pineapple plantation in the Highlands of Central Vietnam).

[Puzzley]

It's such a common sight here that nobody stops to touch them anymore. I want to lie in a big patch of them and see if my imprint stays there.

if you keep touching it it will probly die because it takes so much energy to close that after awhile it just dies
