Just like it says in the title. I haven't seen these offered lately, but I know one of you out there in warmer parts must have some choking a far corner of your yard or something. PM me to work out an offer.
Thanks,

No, I'm looking for Mimosa pudica, which grows as a scrambling, thorny shrub. The common name is sensitive plant or touch-me-not, as the foliage droops and pretends to be wilted when the plant is disturbed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa_pudica

stranges nursery in Richmond Va had tons of the last time I wan there didnt think they could survive our weather here in zone 7 can you grow them outside there?
No, they don't deal well with the cold. They can be grown as annuals but that's not what I plan to do - I want to use them for terrarium projects.

Not sure how to pollenate it either. I was under the impression that it was relatively easy, maybe even self-pollenating, but I've never been able to get seeds.

Amazon is your best bet. You can get 80 seeds for five bucks including shipping, and they have a high germination rate if you soak them in hot water for a day. I killed about a dozen seedlings though because I poked the first true leaves too often... after a while they can fall off. Be gentle!
