On Saturday I went to a garden store to buy a plant for my desk at work. I was struck by this one plant, whose leaves were prettily arranged. I found it quite attractive and reached over to pick it up to get a closer look. Much to my surprise, the moment my fingers brushed against the leaves, the leaves rapidly folded inward! I couldn’t believe my eyes. The plant moved! I reached out again to find the same effect. Fascinated, I knew I had to get the plant. It’s definitely a novelty at work, as I tell each co-worker, ‘Touch my plant!’
