Mimosa

Mimosa:

"A mimosa cocktail is composed of champagne (or other sparkling wine) and chilled citrus juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified. It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute at brunch, at weddings…"

However, that is not the subject at hand.

We are more concerned with these…

I've loved these things since the first time I saw one.  They seem (at least to me) to be almost tropical looking.
I don't remember them growing back in the Old Country.  But of course, that was years ago.
Really, there's a lot I don't remember from there.
But back to the subject at hand.

They grow pretty well around here - even into gigantic trees!

Well, maybe not gigantic, but still trees.
They're not particularly strong trees.  But they grow pretty fast.
In fact, not only fast, but everywhere.
If you get one established, which is not difficult, (it might even establish itself if there are any in the neighborhood) it (or its decedents) will be there for always.

But for my part I still love the feathery blooms and exotic looking foliage.


so here's a few more pix.


By the way…
It seems that the drink is named after an Astralian mimosa ( Acacia dealbata).

Still hanging in here
