"Pink Mimosa"

I discovered a new flower this morning... such a tiny little thing and the bees were active around them!

sounds like a yummy drink and looks like it may hold "Whoville"

Odd, the only mimosa I am familiar with is a tree. And even more interesting is that the leaves look the same. The leaves of the tree will fold up when touched, and that always made me smile. I see that they are not even the same genus, but both are sensitive to touch.

I learned something new today!
