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:

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. :)
