Mimosa trees can be messy, but they sure are pretty when in bloom!

Very interesting banner, Art. It made me curious enough to look up "Mimosa Cocktail" to see what they have in common. The bloom is like a sparkler, as probably is the sparkling wine in the cocktail.

Love your banner, Art. The mimosas are blooming here and they are beautiful. When I was growing up we had a mimosa and I called it a powder puff tree. Ours had a delicate fragrance. Hurray! Hurray! I tip my hat to you.

Just want to thank everyone for the thumbs and nice comments, glad you liked the banner. And Fleur, that was interesting about the “Mimosa Cocktail”, the blooms really do remind me of a sparkler!
