I remember not yellow but as in the pictures on this site. http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/Mimosa.htm ===== It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does. |

Several things are called mimosa, one of which is Albizia julibrissin. A picture is at http://www.missouriplants.com/Pinkal...ssin_page.html |

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. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

Thanks for the links. I still think of the trees we had in Virginia in the 40's and through the 60's. |

I still think of the trees we had in Virginia in the 40's and through the 60's. Are they not there now or have you moved? If so would they not grow where you are now? I have three potted 2 year old seedlings of Albizia julibrissin in my back garden (yard) and they come from a tree in France which we know has lived through winter temperatures down to -13°C and the even more beautiful variety "rosea" can take much lower temperatures. Our problem trying to grow it here is not the cold but our winter wet, they don't seem to be able to cope with winter temperatures that fluctuate between just below freezing and just above almost daily together with constant wet roots. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London.

I more or less left my small hometown about 1960, which quickly became a city. I located in Philadelphia Pa and have been here ever since right next to Center city. I love it here except for some facets of rural life, but we have lots of trees and plants all around and I have my deck with as much as I can manage or want to manage these days. And I might say that my house which I have owned for going on 37 yrs will possible make my daughter a rich lady some day. The area has some of the best of everything, all sorts of great food stores, restaurants, and the Italian market. As a matter of fact my favorite restaurant is almost at my back door. |

I love Calliandras. I have five or six different species throughout the yard. Once established they are drought tolerant and they bloom on-and-off all through the year. My Yard: Landscaping Pictures & Design Ideas: Steep-n-Rocky -Ron- |
