Type of plantCan anyone help please. I was at a customers house yesterday and they were showing me a pot plant. It does flower but it's main feature is when you touch the leaves they immediatly curl up. If you bang the pot gently the whole plant curls up. It regains it's natural look again several minutes later but it was quite incredible. Any Ideas Please ???

That'll be a sensitive plant 'Mimosa pudica'.
Beware, making it curl up too often can kill it (says the voice of experience...  )
