where to purchase a particular plant


Question
Is there any way at all you can tell me what a plant is called that has very small green leaves that are extremely soft and when you touch them they close and then reopen?  My daughter loves this plant she saw and I would love to surprise her with one.  I have searched the net unsuccessfully.  I visited a local floral shop that said it is called a "sensitivity" plant?

Thank you so much

Answer
Rose,

That plant is called Mimosa Pudica.  It is available at the following sites.

I have purchased from the second site and they are reliable.
Good luck.
