Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica)

These are insidious weeds around here with interesting blooms. And, they must be sensitive. I mean, take a look at the bloom in the background! Ha!

Wow, this is such a beautiful plant, it's hard to believe they're considered weeds. I wonder if it's related to the mimosa tree (one of my favorites from my childhood)? Anyway, I remember this plant growing in our yard because if you touched the fern leaves, it closed up. I was fascinated with it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful!!!
ReplyDeletePlease consider yourself officially invited to participate this year's 5th Annual Gratitude (word) Quilt. Instructions (it is very simple) and a link that explains the origin of the word quilt can be found at the top of my blog. In past years there have been participants from every continent except Antarctica. I hope you'll join us:-)
Very pretty! They are fun plants. We have some at the Botanic Garden.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the bloom in the back. They sure are beautiful in their glory, though. I've never noticed them before, but maybe that's because they weren't 'macro-ed'. Amazing how similar they are to the blooms on the Mimosa Tree.
