(Mimosa pudica). The fern-like leaves of this plant fold up when either blown on or touched then reopen a short time later.  If you listen carefully, you will hear a whispering noise accompanying their closing. The flowers, which occur more often with plants grown outdoors in summer are pink or purple fluffy globe shaped balls. Grows 30-45 cm in height. Very tender perennial hardy to zone 9, hence it is grown as either an annual outdoors in summer or as a houseplant only venturing outside in the height of summer.
