TickleMe Plant - It Moves
A great green low cost gift that will make everyone smile is to grow a TickleMe Plant and watch it MOVE when Tickled! The leaves quickly fold and even the branches droop when tickled. I found this to be a great stress reliever in my office and what a conversation piece!. You may have seen the TickleMe Plant in the botanical gardens or on the premier of CSI NY. Now it can be grown indoors year round.
No green thumb needed. I found it on line at http://www.ticklemeplant.com
This grew in my grandmother's yard! We called it 'sleepy grass', and I remember playing with it all summer with my cousins. I just found a little pot of it at Target, and can't wait for my daughter to see it grow!
