Admitedly, most plants are fairly sendentary, but this month's featured plant is the gymnast of the plant world. Like other members of the Oxalis genus, Oxalis oregana is highly responsive to light and touch. When touched or hit by direct sunlight, its leaves fold down from a horizontal to a vertical position. When conditions become shadier, the leaves re-open. This response happens so quickly, it is observable to the human eye. Look for Oxalis oregana in the Redwood Grove and in this month's In Bloom feature, complete with photos, a plant profile and exact locations. |
