![Silver Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 16 W: 0 N: 58]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/s-n-g.gif) (407) | Mimosa pudica (Sensitive Plant) (pudica = shy), is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched, re-opening within minutes. The species is native to South America and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed.
It is said to have a bitter and astringent taste, and has a history of use for the treatment of various ailments. Most commonly used is the root, but leaves, flowers, bark, and fruit can also be implemented.[citation needed]
The Chinese name for this plant translates to "shyness grass". Its Sinhala name is Nidikumba, where 'nidi' means 'sleep'. Its Tamil name is Thottal Sinungi, where 'Thottal' means 'touched' and 'Sinungi' means 'little cry'. Other non-English common names include Makahiya (Philippines, with maka- meaning "quite" or "tendency to be", and -hiya meaning "shy", or "shyness")[citation needed], Mori Vivi(West Indies), and mate-loi (false death)[citation needed] (Tonga). |

I have cropped around your flower - most photos look better with the main subject, like this flower, is not in the very centre of the image.
I hope you like it,
