anonemouse replied to your post: That plant is the Mimosa pudica, which in english is rather imaginatively named the sensitive plant, or less commonly the touch-me-not (although there is also a completely unrelated plant called the touch-me-not with edible, walnut-flavored seeds in touch-sensitive, spring-loaded pods.) The moar you know!
if you go a bit north into wisconsin or michigan during july/august you’ll find plenty, they look like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Im…
Ooh. They kind of look like orchids. I’ve had plans to visit a friend in Wisconsin for some time, so maybe I’ll reserve a trip for spring, just to see them. Which is kind of dorky, but hey, the smallest things can drive you to experience so much more than you’ve planned.

a bit, though the flowers are much smaller - generally 1cm across or less.
