What a surprise!  by bigmxx

What a surprise!

Day 17 - These are flowers on my Mimosa tree, nothing strange there other than this tree was killed in March 2018 (due to the Beast from the East - heavy snow) We never cut the trunk down (you can just make it out behind the leaves) and the following year a twig started growing from the bottom of the dead drunk, this is the first year it has had any flowers on!
It's flowering in January, is that normal? Only ever seen them in Greece in the summer!

Lovely! I've never seen a mimosa with those kind of blooms.

Nice! It must have had some life left in it!

How wonderful to find new life sprouting out of the trunk.

@countrylassie I'm not sure it it's normal as the original ones I had only lasted for a year
@louannwarren That's how I look upon it
@marlboromaam It normally has loads of yellow flowers
@ingrid01 It must have been asleep as it was over a year before it started sprouting right at the base of the old trunk
@ludwigsdiana It was such a wonderful surprise
@carole_sandford It certainly is the kind of surprise I like!
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments
