THE MIMOSA! ~plant~

Sensitive plant or "mimosa" plant gets its name from being shy as it folds away from the slightest touch. Featured in this video is the aquatic mimosa Neptunia oleracea at the Missouri Botanic Gardens!

Ever wonder how these plants move so fast? It’s all about the H2O! Water rushes to different parts of the plant and appear to be moving.
