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 loved touching the leaves and watch them slowly fold like this! :D

Omgosh… i miss those… i use to play with them at my old school in the Phil.  

hawaii kids, was this not the coolest plant ever?!
