Happy Monday and happy new week! My Mimosa tree is finally blooming. I was wondering if it was going to as others in the area were already blooming a couple of weeks ago. I love the dainty, wispy blooms. Because they are so dainty they only last a day so I was lucky to catch these few in good condition.
I had dug up and transplanted a baby Mimosa (Silk) tree about 4 years ago now I think. The tree grew like crazy last year and this year as well. It got a few flowers on it for the first time as well this year which I am sharing a capture of here. The leaves are folded up for the night as I took this image in the evening as I was watering. I was surprised to see the flowers as other trees of this type had flowered a few weeks ago in our town. Not sure if it was late blooming because it is young. I love the hairy whispy looking flowers these trees have. They are not native to Kansas and can be considered invasive, but I like them and will keep it from spreading.
