[IBC] Q from a new
Sorry I don't know much at all about mimosa, but I couldn't help thinking:
The tag actually said "Mimocha". Any ideas? Half a coffee? mi-mocha ;-) Nicolas http://www.bmee.net "A community that excludes even one of its members is no community at all" - Dan Wilkins "You must deal with me as I think of myself" J.

Hello all! I am new to this quirky hobby and have been researching over the summer. I have been lurking about his list for a little while and I have a few simple questions. I purchased an inexpensive plant by the genus name of Mimosa. The tag actually said "Mimocha". Any ideas? I have searched the internet, and other than a few cocktail recipes, I have come up empty handed. Ok, maybe it isn't a quirky hobby, but... Now, if I could combine my interests in the bonsai arts with sea kayaking, that would be quirky! =) Kev Chances are it is not a Mimosa at all, but rather Albizia (Albizzia, alt. spelling) julibrissin. It is commonly called Mimosa, but is also known as Silk Tree. It is NOT Mimosa, the Sensitive Plant. It has feathery compound leaves and pink powderpuff type flowers. Try searching under Albizia and see if this is what you have.

Try searching under Albizia and see if this is what you have. And since several of the Acacia sp. also are called mimosa (and they're in the same family), go he http://www.bonsai-bci.com/species/acacia.html. There may be an "Albezia" listing there, too. But since they're all so similar in environment, growth habits, and bonsai requirements, maybe not.
