This plant actually reacts to sound waves.
It is Codariocalyx motorius, the ‘dancing plant,’ the only plant in the world known to move visibly in response to sound, and this clip is lightly sped up from a five-minute video of it reacting to Fat Freddy’s Drop.

It’s one of the intriguing species included in our Stems of Wonder seed boxes, created here in New Zealand - a unique gift idea for anyone who loves something unexpected.

There are only a few remaining Spring Sampler boxes left. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s a good time before they’re gone until next spring. Gift certificates will be available all year round. 🌱

There’s a vine that mimics the plants it climbs, changing its leaf shape to match whatever’s beside it.
(It’s called Boquila trifoliolata, and it’s every bit as amazing as it sounds. Sadly, it’s not allowed in NZ, so not one you’ll find in our seed boxes.)
But one of our seeds has its own kind of visual mimicry.
Camouflage so convincing, it doesn’t look like a plant at all. Want to see it for yourself?
Limited edition Spring Wonder Boxes subscription is open - first boxes ship next week! To sign up, visit: www.thestemsproject.co.nz
