I think the plant your son's friend has is Mimosa pudica, a tropical plant grown as a houseplant and started from seed. Here is a photo and description to make sure. http://www.plantoftheweek.org/... You will probably need to order seeds or a plant from a specialty catalog as this is a fairly unusual plant. You might find it at Stokes Seeds http://www.stokeseeds.com/cgi-... for example, or possibly thorugh Thompson and Morgan http://www.thompson-morgan.com... Enjoy your sensitive plants! |
