I could do that all day. XD

I have!

that is awesome. i wonder why that plant does that?

lol thats so cool, i wish I had one.

Heres the answer from Wikipedia:
Mimosa pudica is well known for its rapid plant movement. In the evening the leaflets will fold together and the whole leaf droops downward. It then re-opens at sunrise. This type of motion has been termed nyctinastic movement. The leaves also close up under various other stimuli, such as touching, warming, or shaking. The stimulus can also be transmitted to neighbouring leaves. These types of movements have been termed seismonastic movements. The movement is caused by "a rapid loss of pressure in strategically situated cells that cause the leaves to droop right before one’s eyes".[3] This characteristic is quite common within the Mimosaceae family.

Intersting plant.

I see the marvel of nature in this but I wonder how it ended up online. Cyberculture is built on WOW-effects, hardcore skateboards to the nuts and overweight people falling off of things. Are plants really going to keep the attention of Generation Heymomgetmeanothercokeandturnuptheheat,we'refreezinginhere?

Having said this, I still think it's amazing :)

I have had the great fun of playing with one of these and it does keep one's attention! While the Internet does seem to love it's nut-shots I think people have an inborn desire to connect with nature.

My parents have one of these. It's even more impressive up close cause you can feel it contrapting.
