Great thread!

I used to grow Desmodium gyrans. It was extremely easy to grow and developed into quite a large but unimpressive plant by the end of he year. The main leaves don't move, it's only the secondary leaflets that move around in a jerky elliptical manner when bright sunlight hits them, but mine moved far slower than in the video above.

 

Wow i never knew plants like that even existed

 

I would love to be able to get hold of some of those Aristolochias.

Have seen Hydnora in the wild.
It is a parasite that attaches itself to the roots of plants - mainly Acacia trees. You don't see the plant at all. Only the flower (if you can call it that ) emerges from the soil.
