    Macro Flowers of the Sensitive Plant

    This is a thorned creeper that crawls along the ground and then climbs on shrubs. When you touch the leaves or the branches the leaves will close and the branch supporting the leaves will fold back quite rapidly. The flowers are just a little larger than an end of a cotton swab but up close magnified they have a beauty seldom seen.

    Sounds like they have a mind of their own.

    The flowers look like those of a dew plant.
