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.

i was this plant in another life

THEY HAD THESE PLANTS ALL OVER WHERE I USED TO LIVE AND WE USED TO HUNT THEM OUT AND SIT AROUND AND TOUCH THEM MY GOD THEY WERE THE BEST

and usually, the other side is red, letting cows and other mammals know that it’s poisonous (it’s not, it wants animals to think that) SO IT WOULDN’T GET EATEN
