Sensitive Plant
This plant is a favorite of children due to its curious reaction to being touched. Stroke the leaves (actually a collection of very fine leaflets) and they will immediately fold up and “wilt” in seconds. (The plant will recover a short time later). This plant is easy to grow from seed and grows quickly, producing fuzzy pink flowers. Give it bright light and keep the soil moist. They will eventually start to look poor and begin dying off, but a new plant can easily be grown from seed
