Prolly not but it reminds me of such. It's this plant... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliandra which is not what you know as Mimosa. Most of the world calls Acacia (dealbata) with small yellow flowers Mimosa, but in the US I understand they call Albizia (julibrissin) Mimosa and this photo looks just like Albizia flowers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_dealbata http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albizia_julibrissin Confused? Nothing unusual for me. :-) Actually a good example of why Latin names are important. Very true and those are some great examples of beauty. Sometimes the wike pages don't have such good pictures. Thanks for the links. I still think of the trees we had in Virginia in the 40's and through the 60's. |
