These wispy, power-puff blossoms smell so good that I don't know why someone hasn't made Mimosa air freshener yet, or maybe even a cologne!
The mimosa is not native to America. It grows naturally from Africa to Asia and was brought here in the 1700s as an ornamental.
And yes, the hummingbirds and the bees love it!

thanks! now i know that this beuatiful flower is called mimosa! i really liked this flower
I have not seen one of these yet. Maybe our climate is too cold in the winter. It is good, I guess, if the hummers like it.
You have defeated my ignorance, I never knew the meaning of the word "mimosa", thank you so much.
I'm not sure if we have it here but we do have 'Cologne' ;-)
I've never seen mimosa in bloom...Thank you for that!
Can you describe how is smells?
Thank you for your comments.
Mimosa blooms are very fragrant, and my boys and I just aroma-tested them, and we agree that the closest scent might be fresh, sweetened peaches.
The nectar practically coats the flower, beckoning passersby like the song of the Sirens.
