A good site. I recommend clicking so you can see the videos of how plants respond to light, touch, or use movement to twine around things. Specifically the "Morning Glory Twining". The time lapse vids are awesome.
I'd like to take this moment to remind you that the only reason you don't run away from plants like these shitting your pants is because generally the movement is so slow that you don't "see" it. If plants could move as fast as we, we'd be fucked - triffid-style.
Also, I took my boyfriend to the UNCC greenhouse over the weekend to finish a project. He touched a "sensitive plant" for the first time, as well as seeing many plants listed in "Bizarre Botanicals". I think it dawned on him why I'm in love...with plants. Sensitive plants are also in the video list and are cool as fuck - no time lapse there.
