Mimosa pudica or daughter of shame is one of the short shrubs belonging to the leguminous tribe where this plant is very easy to recognize because of its leaves that can quickly close / rot by itself and when touched and even this plant is very often one of the children's games. at that time. Although some legumes can do the same thing as this plant, Mimosa pudica plants react more quickly than other types.

the fruit of this flower looks very beautiful like ornamental flowers in general and maybe you are wondering why the resulting image looks so beautiful and clear, because here I took it using a cellphone camera and also added an Apexxel 37mm macro lens. Here I try to choose a small flower because the macro lens can only focus on small objects such as small insects.

Although what I share this time is only wild plants, here we will enjoy the beauty of nature in macro photography. Here I will also explain a little about the beauty of this plant and the differences in similar plants. Because this plant has two types of the same plant. So here I will try to explain it differently this time. Before we look at the differences in these plants and first let's enjoy the beauty of this type of shy princess first. Let's see.

Well here is the flower of this shy princess plant and as I said before that I took this picture using the Redmi 9C + Apexxel 37mm macro lens phone camera. I also edited this image using the application I downloaded yesterday, namely Photoshop Express. Because using this additional application will produce more beautiful images.

The uniqueness of this plant and maybe you also really liked to play with this plant as a child and because the leaves of this plant when touched or blown will close immediately. Perhaps this is due to changes in turgo pressure in the leaf bones of the plant. And also these stimuli can also be felt by other leaves that are not touched.

What makes the leaves of this plant close may be influenced by the touch stimulus of an object that hits it and the seismonastic movement of the leaf from wherever the touch comes and he will still close the leaf. after the leaf closes a few minutes later we will see the leaf will open again by itself.

Not even just a touch because this plant will also close its own leaves at sunset and bloom again after sunrise. Plants like this shy princess cover their leaves as a form to protect themselves from plant-eating animals such as buffalo and others who want to eat them. We can see the color of the leaves on the underside of this shy princess plant which has a greener color, and when the leaves are closed it will give a pale color, by showing this pale color the animal that had wanted to eat this plant will think that the plant has withered and become extinct. don't want to eat it again.

This plant also has many sharp thorns on the stems and leaves. The stems of this shy daughter plant have a distinctive and very long stem compared to other shy daughter plants and from the stem of this plant it has very many thorns and the whole plant has thorns. With a row of very sharp and pointed thorns along the back of this plant.

Alright everyone, let's enjoy together the flowers that are pale pink and look like hairy balls clustered together, this type of plant emerges from the short stalks of the leaf body connections. And here we can also see that there are stamens for each petal, Even though this plant belongs to the type of shrubs and woody but this plant has flowers that look beautiful here. Enough of my discussion about this plant and maybe you all can distinguish it from similar stem plants, And before I end I will first introduce the name of this plant, this plant is often referred to as a sensitive giant plant.
