Strange Plant



I forget the name of this plant, but it's a lot of fun to play with. When you touch the leafy stems, then the leaves close up. It's weird. When you poke it right where all the leafy stems come together, then every stem closes up at the same time. Lab Manager Ute had one of these plants in her kitchen and I became acquainted with them originally somewhere some time ago, but I can't recall where...

  2. Ah yes. Twas in Hawaii with my dear friends when I first played with these little buggers.
