Shy Guy



Makahiya, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

This is the flower of the makahiya, a plant whose leaves fold when touched. But I wonder why it's shy when it's very pretty?

  4. That plant is sold here, as a sensitive plant. I am not sure why I never even thought about it having a flower! I just thought of the leaves. And such a pretty flower, too!
