Trigger Plant

[larry]

Anybody have this?  Leo Song, master CP grower, showed me this plant the other day and demonstrated the triggering mechanism.  It was incredible
There's this tiny little pad for an insect to touch, and when the insect touches it, a long spike strikes the insect, attaching the plants pollen to it.  I want one of these, need to ask him where I can get it.
