waterboy 2.0 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Mimosa pudica would interest you as well. EDIT - may have seeds, maybe I will check. If not someone may have a few. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa_pudica Edited July 18, 2017 by waterboy 2.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted July 18, 2017 I have fresh-ish seeds of the native one, Neptunia gracilis. It moves just as fast. The moonflower vine is pretty cool, it's a morning glory that opens it's flowers quite fast in the evening. Another good one is Epiphyllum hookeri, the flowers spring open in a split second. Nicotianas and Mirabilis open (more slowly) in the evenings. These are all wonderfully perfumed except the native sensitive plant. How fast do you wanty the plants to move? there are many others that move slowly over a couple hours like prayer-plants and hoyas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted July 18, 2017 good point HD, there are a lot of plants with movement. ..I am too hammered to recall to many right now, but there are trigger plants, a few carnivorous ones (like the pygmy sundews that shoot the gemmae) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thisartismurder Posted July 18, 2017 @waterboy 2.0 I am very interested in mimosa pudica and similar plants, I'm looking for ones that move quickly or at least quick enough that can be observed without a time lapse @Halcyon Daze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
