Another small flower... Sleeping grass, touch-me-not and sensitive are some popular names for this shrinking plant (mimosa pudica L. - known as dormideira in Portuguese). My kids were playing in an open field when they found the sleeping grass... and they had so much fun touching the leaves to see them fold.

My kids too are fascinated by this flower.
Chris: That is a great lesson in nature for the kids.
Beautiful one.
I don't know if I have seen that pink flower, but it sure is lovely. It is also interesting to know about a name "sleeping grass".
Great post, love the children playing in the fields.
I used to touch these while going to school in my childhood.
Oi Cris
