It's easy to find this plant in our place. We call it "shame daughter".

I do not know where it came from. Probably because of the nature of this plant which is indeed like a very shy daughter.

This plant consists of thorny stems, leaves lined, and beautiful flowers. The leaves are neatly lined up in the whole trunk will "close themselves" when touched something. Like someone who bends and silences his body, as soon as it is touched.

When we child, we often bothers this plant. Touch it, then wait until it expands, then touch it again :)

But ut watch out, lest you step on this plant. Little thorns will cause you to bleed.

These plants usually grow in bushes, among other wild grasses.
