Although having been divided and replanted numerous times, this maranta leuconeura – aka prayer plant – is in effect more than thirty years old and is currently thriving like never before.
The Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica L.) is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched, re-opening within minutes. Mimosa pudica is native to Brazil
I was amazed that it bloomed, and that the flowers are so delicate.

ich war überrascht, dass sie blühte, und dass die blüten so zart sind.
This is one of my beautiful new plants I took delivery of the other day - also known as a prayer plant, as the leaves fold upwards at night like praying hands. Loved the pink windows created by the light shining through them today.
Had a pretty relaxed Sunday - lots of catching up on photos, a fair bit of PS4, and not a huge amount else. A relaxed evening, too, with How to Train Your Dragon 2 :) (Still trying to pretend it's the Christmas holidays.)

No invites please. Just your visits/kind comments are enough to warm my heart...and much appreciated. Thanks. :)
What a wonderful surprise! Blooming for the first time in more than 2 years and so timely - during the whole month of October, cheering my cheerless heart due to weeks of illness that included viral fever, flu, and ended with food poisoning with bouts of vomiting and diarrhea till last Sunday. Thank God, I am now fully recovered. Fingers still crossed! :-D

I feed my plant my leftover coffee (yes, it works wonders - makes the leaves shiny green). Sometimes I pour in too much and it overflows - it did that yesterday and I put napkins all around it to soak it up off my desk and from inside the plate under the pot.
This was the results! I thought it looked pretty cool!
Just trying to show the new growth on my Prayer Plant. Not sure if I have succeeded or not. Some days you can almost see the new leaves unfurling.
NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE

At least I think that's what this is. I saw it at the garden center on Saturday and had to buy it.
The leaves are a rich burgundy underneath and curl up at night. A really nice plant.

My Prayer Plant (aka Rabbit Tracks) is propagating right now... every few days I see two or three tiny lavender blooms.

Called a "prayer plant" because of the way it folds its leaves up at night. I think "dancing plant" might be more appropriate.
The process of movement in response to light (but not towards light) is called "photonasty".
Pictures are from 13:30 to 18:40 the next day, so it covers 29 hours total.
I'm not sure why the tripod moved around during the day. I'm guessing the heat from the Sun made things expand and contract.

Calatheas are called "Prayer Plants" because they fold up their leaves at night.
This is a Calathea Picta Royale, shot once every 5 minutes, 7am to 7pm, for two days.
