definitely was!
What is the little plant called?! My grandparents used to have them and I loved them as a kid but have no clue what they are called!
James brought ours home from the lab! He calls is a sensitive plant: technically a mimosa pudica!
Ha, I love this week's cover too. As for me, having a child who has just started day camp for the first time, I'm quite flattered to be the inspiration for Jesse Eisenberg's humor column.
You're right, the biodiversity heritage library is cooler than it sounds–and it sounds really freaking cool.
Ha! I loved that piece, too! So funny to be famous, isn't it 😉
when i was a kid, i used to play with that plant, haha. here in brazil, it's called "dorme-dorme" or "dormideira". both can be translated as "sleeper". great photos!
So awesome!
that little plant reminds me when we were kids we used to play with them all the time, they were everywhere!
That's awesome! Where did you grow up?
What an adorable plant! I also appreciate The Old Reader link. Hadn't yet heard of that alternative.
I cannot thank you enough for your "How to Stop Killing Your Succulents" post. I have a black thumb and it is horrible! Perhaps with your advice I'll survive (or rather my plants will)!
Erin, we are Brooklyn Heights neighbors! The River Deli (and its cheery lamp post!) is absolutely adorable — I've just discovered their brunch. Love your blog and your photos!
i want all of those objects!! Hope you're having a good week.
I used to love wandering through my aunt's garden, touching those little plants with the lightest little pat of my finger and watching them curl up into themselves. I thought it was beyond magical (and I still think it is).
#4!!! I used to live in Saipan (Northern Mariana Islands) and mimosa pudicas grew everywhere in the wild! Since I was a kid and moved back to the States, I've told everyone about these little ferns that would close up when you touched them. After a while I wondered if I just made them up. I'm so glad to know their actual names; I want to find one now! Where did you find yours?
Am going to give The Old Reader a chance. Am frustrated by the options with Feedly, BlogLovin … Feedly is my fave so far, but I'm finding that I'm opting to NOT leave comments because I am so desperately missing the "NEXT" button 🙁 Anywhooo .. lovely Week in Objects post!
