Nice. As little ones we had mimosa trees in our yard. I never had such
a clear picture of what the blooms were like. I wonder if it is the
same by another name. Prolly not but it reminds me of such.

Mimosa flowers are yellow like yolks.
Is that a yoke or am I going color blind. I remember not yellow but as
in the pictures on this site.

It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.

They belong to the same sub family as mimosas and both belong to the legume
family.

Several things are called mimosa, one of which is
Albizia julibrissin. A picture is at

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks Wendy.

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.
