Aeschynomene fluitans (Giant Sensitive Fern)

Aeschynomene fluitans, commonly known as Giant Sensitive Fern, is a beautiful aquatic plant native to tropical regions. It is characterized by its large fronds that can reach up to 3 feet in length. The fern gets its name from its unique response to touch, as its leaves will quickly fold up when touched and then reopen after a short period of time. This fern is an excellent addition to ponds and water gardens, providing both beauty and movement as its fronds sway with the water currents.
