Plus que le petit diptère (sans doute un syrphe), c'est cette fantastique plante "sensitive" qui est le cœur de cette image. Au moindre toucher, elle replie ses folioles et feuilles, totalement rabattues contre la tige en 1 seconde. J'avais déjà croisé cette famille aux Antilles mais c'est toujours aussi fantastique à observer !
Le mimosa pudique ("Mimosa pudica") a la particularité d'avoir des feuilles qui se replient dès qu'on les touche.

Sensitive Plant or Shameplant. This plant's leaves close when you touch them and the tiny branch fold down when you touch their underside ! Very cool ! At Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden, Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii
"Sensitive Research" is the cornerstone of my interactive art collection. And by "cornerstone", I mean that I have no other interactive art (yet). But even if I did, this would still be the highlight. It has a spinning lemon, people.
"Sensitive Research" was a gift of the artist, Ranjit Bhatnagar.

Here's the same vine after a disturbance such as that caused by a plant-feeding animal. It may fool the animal into thinking it's dead, or it may just expose its sharp thorns. This plant doesn't move as fast as the better-known M. pudica, which is tropical.
I was given some light sensitive printing paper and so I did these designs with the things I found on the beach whilst beach combing so rewarding seeing the end results
Cluster of Sensitive Plants found on the way back from the last temple visited to the visitor's center
My 'Gardening Partner' started this in her greenhouse this spring and as they can be a pretty nice house plant I planted some in pots. I try to avoid touching them as they look so sad when the leaves all fold up from being touched :)
Our family had to have some sort of vacation holiday and chose an area of the country that was less densely populated and with lower COVID-19 rates. It also happened to include North Dakota, a state none of us had been to and marks state #49 for Tamara. We had a wonderful trip, got labeled as "Covid-sensitive" at a restaurant (which we now bear as a badge of honor), and got to see and explore a lot of places that in a 'normal' year we probably would have missed out on.
