I picked one of these up over the weekend. Pretty cool watching it rehydrate!

Oooh, I had one of these in college and the immediate years after, but I didn't care for it super well. A layer of algae or some other green mat grew over it and got all of the sunlight.The plant turned brown, and I was never sure if it was still alive or if it was just the turgor pressure from osmosis forcing the plant to open and close.
