At least I think it's a mimosa tree, long 'fronds' on each branch, holding
many small leaves which curl up at night, the tree itself had pinkish blooms
on it and had long pods with a few seeds in each, one of which ended up in
my suitcase (in Turkey)...would there be any possibility of having it as a
houseplant?....there's a picture here of one:

Pinkish? That's Albitzia julibrissin. I had one that dwined[*].
I have grown a few more from seed and will try again. They are a
bit big for houseplants, but you may succeed. They aren't mimosa,
but were called pink mimosa in Italy.
[*] Lovely word. I first saw it in The Bogeyman.
