Mimosa

The Mimosa or touch-me-not is one of the few plants I know the botanical name of. There is something fascinating about how the leaves close at the slightest touch!

While at River Tern lodge. we saw touch-me-nots all over the place, and since they were flowering, they looked even prettier than usual....But even after the flowers drooped, they still looked pretty...

The flower buds seem to resemble fir cones.. or is it just me imagining it?
