A Dancing Plant!
in Topics of Interest
Guys and Gals

Have you known of a certain dancing plant? :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

Have you ever watched a plant move all by itself? The “dancing plant”, also known as the telegraph plant, actually moves its leaves in jerky motions when exposed to direct sunlight, warmth or vibration – hence their reaction to music.

Its leaflets, each of which is equipped with a hinge at the base that allows it to move, rotate along an elliptical path. This plant is famous for being a favorite of Charles Darwin, and is featured in depth in his book The Power of Movement in Plants. :blink:

    Wow! That's a really lovely plant! No wonder Darwin was smitten by this plant!

    Heard about it before but don't know the exact details and its name etc., thanks to Sweta for giving more information.
    I have also seen a plant know as Touch-me-not which may be everyone knows here. It closes if we touch it and opens again after sometime. We use to play with it and love it so much. :)
