Acacia Mimosa Pudica

how pretty and delicate, lovely milky

that is lovely

We know this as the Sensitive plant or the Tickle-Me plant because those fern like leaves close almost instantly when touched and then re-open a few minutes later.

Yes they do Bernieh, and the grandchildren have had some fun with it, but its the 1st time I have got one to flower......They are so pretty Thanks Sanbaz and Irish.....

You must have been thrilled to see them Milky , what a lovely surprise in the morning :o)

Well done, it's a very delicate looking flower.

It was a lovely surprise Amy, and Gee....I couldnt get it to flower last year, so its extra special this year.....

Where do you grow this plant Milky? it is a beauty.

Its foilage is so attractive and those sweet pink pom poms make it a very special plant.

You must be thrilled .....

Dotty it has been outside undeer the shelter of our Lean~to, but I moved it back in the greenhouse because it was in the way of SP mixing the foundations for his fish pond.Pansy and Dawn.....I am really thrilled...after feeling totally worn out over the weekend, this was a lovely surprise this morning.....

Aww, bless, just what you needed, x

Certainly was Dawn.......

Lovely Milky not seen these flowers before such a treat for you .

Thanks Bonkers they are beautiful....

So unusual beautiful is it a climber

Not a climber Morgana, but it grows vert straggly, and looks better if its tied to a cane....

Wonder why the leaves close up. Does it do this if it rains? Or is it a relative of the fly catcher plants that closes it's flowers.

No Lindak it closes them as sort of protection I think.....

I like the leaves, very pretty

Thankyou

Thats the beauty of nature Milky seeing a new flower appear makes it all worth while

You are so right Orchid.....

Wow, what a nice surprise. I didn't know that it had flowers I thought it was a type of fern.

They are lovely Rhodea, but they only last a day, and seem to come in 2's and 3's Like little laser looking globes........

little globes of sunshine.

They certainly are Rhodea
