the plants name is called “makahiya” and hiya in tagalog means “shy”.
whenever you touch the plants leaves, they immediately fold up together looking as if its really shy hence the name.
my mom told me about these! in vietnamese its name is literally translated as “shy plant”. i actually touched a few of these in vietnam and watched the leaves close up. it’s so cute ♥
Awwwww
omg awwwwww
