Mimosa by rosiekind

Mimosa

This is a plant that my good friend Pam @pamknowler bought for me last year after my eye operation. It is still going strong and is planted in my rockery. The flowers are coming out nicely and look lovely in the sunshine. I just can't remember what it's called. After the kind people on 365, I now know that it's Mimosa.
It looks like it could an acacia tree. There are about 160 different species.

It’s a Mimosa Rosie. Just checked in my garden encyclopaedia to confirm it. So pleased it’s still going strong. Must get one for myself! I might be able to keep it!

I agree with Pam. Related to the sensitive plant, the leaves of which close when touched

The foliage is particularly nice in this light. Lovely photo.

It looks beautiful with that black background! Is it a sort of mimosa plant?

Just checked and Acacia Mimosa and Albezia names all seem to come up with the same family ... perhaps Acacia is more Southern Hemisphere.. Some forms are like weeds and are pulling them out of the garden all the time as the birds must feast on the seeds..

@pamknowler Oh Thanks Pam. I had a feeling that it was but wasn’t sure

@rosiekind An Australian would know best, but is this what they call Wattle? It makes for a gorgeous tree!

@Weezilou I think Pam has identified this correctly and she should know because she bought it for me LOL

Sorry, just read everyone's comments ... I was a bit late to the Mimosa party. Pretty sure that's what it is though ... you see a lot of it here in France.

@jamibann I like your comment about being late for the party! It gave me a smile and thanks for your kind comments
