1. The Venus Fly Trap
Sure you know it (Super Mario), but have you ever seen it in action? You can check it out here:2. The Shy Plant
The lesser known (?) shy plant (translation from Chinese) or Mimosa Pudica shys away (physically closes and droops) at a slight touch or breeze. To see what I mean you can have a look at this video of two over zealous shy plant hunters.
This post was inspired by my encounter with a shy plant while in Sichuan province. I tickled it until it begged for mercy (sorry, the inner child in me).
Have you ever seen either of these plants in person before? Do you know of any other cool plants that you could introduce? Have you ever tickled a shy plant?
