    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 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!
