* Fairy Duster * |
These tiny little flowers grow on small vines on the ground here in Arizona as well as other parts of the country. They are actually a type of mimosa plant.
Some mimosa plants actually have rapid moving leaves, and will immediately close up when touched or agitated. Most of the other mimosa plants will also respond to touch, but are usually much slower and take a considerable amount of time to close their leaves.
