The Shy Plant?
so this is a video i taken when i was in hawaii in july of 2007. we were on our way to cool off in a little waterfall when ma parents spotted these plants. i saw them when i was really young, elementary skool i thinq. anyways, these plants seem to be indigenous to hot and humid areas like vietname or hawaii.
directly translated from vietnamese we call this "plant: embarrassed" because when you touch the leaves they close up resulting in something similar to being shy or embarrassed; so heres a video clip from the vacation:
the funny thing about these leaves is that when the wind blows, nothing happens, they'll stay open. oddly only when it senses YOU touching it it gets "embarrassed". anyone know what this plant is called in english? i tell people about this plant and they have no idea what the efff i'm talking about and look at me lyke i'm crassseeee.
