As spring moves toward summer, the surrounding colors continue to change. The beautiful but invasive wisteria has faded, and now we see crape myrtles blooming in their many shades, shrub roses have shed their first flowers and are putting out new buds, and mimosas are making their presence known throughout the area.
I love the unique blossoms on a mimosa tree. I thought this one has a particularly delightful color. I had to pull off a busy road and challenge the traffic to get these photographs, but I hope it was worth it.
I see a lot of mimosa trees as I travel about our area. Their presence is largely the result of their strongly invasive habits. For that reason I won’t run out and buy a mimosa to put in a friend’s garden. But I can at least enjoy the beauty of the ones that are already out there.

Hi John, I like Mimosas too. They are very graceful at the edge of the road and they have a lovely flower. They seem to bloom where there is nothing else of interest so they make the landscape prettier where they are.

I have always liked Mimosas, but they have fallen out of favor in our area.

Loved this tree as a child. We had one in our yard for a while but eventually my dad cut it down.

I have always liked mimosas in bloom. I can’t say the same when I’m pulling up the unwanted seedlings.
Thanks.
