Not a Venus fly trap

[Phil Occifer™]

Many years ago I saw a television programme, it may have been HOW.
They showed a small plant, similar to a long-stalked fern.
When the 'leaves' were touched, they folded (cigar-like).
I managed to find one in a garden centre and the TYGS found great amusement with it.
Recently eldest TYG asked me about it, and I have to admit I had forgotten all about it.
Do any of you 'Percy Thrower' folk have any ideas please?

Phil, I think it's a Mimosa of some sort, also known as the sensitive plant.

Thanks Faery, that seems to ring bells in this old bonce.
I will make enquiries and pass details to TYG.
(Thanks also for sharing my 2000th post!!)
