Description
Partridge Pea, Chamaecrista fasciculata, is an annual wildflower with several other common names including sensitive plant and sleeping plant. It's leaves are sensitive and fold together when touched. The bright yellow flowers attract butterflies and bees; birds love the seed pods. I photographed this specimen in northeastern Nebraska near the Missouri River.
