Touch-me-not. Open|Close

in PHOTOGRAPHY [DAC]3 years ago (edited)

I was just going for a short stroll this morning when I came across this Touch-me-not plant. As my feet came in contact with the leaves they began to close and I couldn't help myself from taking a picture of them open first and closed next. This is an interesting plant because it is one of the few plants that actually move quickly on their own which we can observe.

I also managed to include the beautiful fuschia coloured flower in this image.

This is an image of when the leaves closed up after I touched it.

This is combined image of the both for comparison.
