The Power of Movement in Plants

 

And, suddenly, yesterday someone drops by chance a book for a few minutes on top of my piece (A verdadeira Madagáscar / The real Madagascar) on display at the Serralves Museum … Everything changed and the plants started moving…

Looking at the cover I discovered the title of the book:
The power of Movement in Plants, by Charles Darwin (1880)

Darwin returns by chance to Madagascar! Oh hi!
