On recent drives to Mountain Home, Arkansas and to the Great Smoky
Mountains
Nat'l Park I saw some beautiful plants which I had not seen before.
1) The first one seemed to be some type of locust tree with numerous
pink or light purple blossoms. Some were very large and others almost
looked
like a bush. These seemed common along the roadsides.

This could have been mimosa trees:
