TouCH mE, tOuCh Me nOt

When I was little, I used to love looking for touch-me-nots. I loved to disturb them so that the leaves would close. I was mesmerized by them. From the dandelion clock-like pink flower to the spindly leaves. Many afternoons you would find me crouched on a grass patch playing with the touch-me-nots.

Perhaps, like me, they have many secrets to hide.

Mimosa pudica from the Order of Fabales.
