Welcome to the group! You may like to know that Doug and Vivi Rowland
have Mimosa pudica seed at 30p (~50c) a packet (20 or so.) They're in
the UK, but they're happy to sell abroad. If you send them an
International Reply Coupon, I'm sure they'll be happy to send you a
catalogue.
They're at:

South West Seeds,
200 Spring Road,
Kempston,
BEDFORD MK42 8ND,
UK

Hope this helps, happy growing,

Peter
